Meet the next Mayor of Outer London: Susan Hall. While Sadiq Khan languishes with a net favourability of -24 in the suburban boroughs, the Tory candidate enjoys a score of +4. That is landslide territory.
There are, I concede, a couple of problems with this analysis. First, there is no such position available. Not even Hillingdon is threatening to strike out alone on WTO terms. Second, Hall’s positive number is predicated on the fact that Londoners essentially do not know who she is.
