Susan Hall is sui generis. Whether it is tweets endorsing Donald Trump or calling reality TV star Gemma Collins a “stupid fat blonde woman”, the Conservative candidate for Mayor has her own way of ingratiating herself with an electorate that, by the standards of British politics, skews left and liberal.
As a result, Hall makes great copy. She also invites light mocking. But that has never stopped me from noting she could yet win this contest. Partly, this is a result of ‘Khan fatigue’ as well as her opposition to the Ulez extension, but really it is down to one thing: the voting system. Two years ago, the government changed it for how we elect mayors. This is very good news for Hall.
