There is something of a hole developing in Susan Hall's pickpocket story. The Conservative candidate for mayor claimed earlier in the week that she had her wallet stolen after a 'shove' on the Metropolitan line. Hall went on to tell LBC's Nick Ferrari that the incident was testament to Sadiq Khan’s “out of control” London.
It now transpires that a member of the public returned the wallet to her – replete with cash and cards – after finding it on the Tube. Which would appear to cast doubt on a case of straightforward theft.
