Hello, I am new to London and this is the first time I will be voting in the GLA elections. Does anybody know if there are any GC candidates? I suspect not, but want to vote for someone who represents my views if possible.

What about Farah London? Does anyone know her policies?

Shame we can’t bin the lot of them.

Surely the only option is Count Binface? Grin

I've never yearned for Jeremy Paxman more.

I just came to see if there was a thread about this. I'm baffled by the intellectual dishonesty after watching that video

Yes, quite something, isn't it?

I just came to see if there was a thread about this. I'm baffled by the intellectual dishonesty after watching that video.

Sadiq Khan has said that he believes that "trans women are women" and "trans men are men". Right. Fine. He has a right to hold that belief.

But given that, the clear and simple answer to David Kurten's question of do you think some women have male reproductive organs? was just...

Yes.

So say that, Sadiq!

Here are the candidates for Mayor of London. Some interesting characters. Although I laughed when I saw that Sian Berry was running on behalf of The Greens. She’s more than ruined her chances with all this Amie Challoner business.

I actually felt sorry for Sadiq Khan in that video. He obviously thinks it’s a load of shit but has to toe the line.

That old beardy guy at the end! I do love a bit of mansplaining. He's out of touch. The blimmin House of Lords had to put the word mother back in a maternity policy, but yeah, we all halucinated that happening.

I saw this yesterday and couldn’t believe my ears! David Kurton

I think the WEP are putting forward candidates - but then they aren't GC!
