I had to google TUSC - Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition. They have almost as many candidates as Reform. I'd never heard of them.

I wonder what happened to Drillminister? The Drill artist who was supposedly in the run last time but in the end didn't even make it on the ballot paper.

And three Independent / no description candidates:
FOX Laurence
LONDON Farah
ROMUALDO Gabe
(Yes, they put their list under "The Green Party" so it's been put after S, not before H, alphabetically)

Thought Fox had failed to fill his form in properly and wasn't running any more?
Anyway, if I bother to vote at all it'll probably be Khan for the irritation he causes rather than because I have any respect for or faith in him. Then Green for assembly stuff, or whatever name takes my fancy, makes no odds. Most of London's biggest problems are tied to international capital, no one's going to do anything about that.

That was for Mayor. He got on the London wide list as an independent solo candidate.

I'll vote Khan too. Even though he's a slam dunk and can totally afford a wasted comedy vote on binface, my contempt for Susan Hall and her party pretty much trumps everything right now.
And tbh I don't really dislike Khan. Yes he's not perfect, but I've agreed with more things than I've disagreed with, like sacking the useless Cressida Dick from the Met, vetoing development on crap eyesores like the 'Tulip' tower and the Vegas style 'sphere' in Stratford, signing off on things like free primary school meals and and freezing TFL fares until at least March next year. I also supported moving City Hall to Victoria Dock and saving millions in rent to the Kuwaitis (opposed by both Lib Dems and Tories). The old city hall looks crap now anyway. It was the right move (like most Londoners even care where it is anyway).
As YouSir says, most of London's biggest problems are tied to things like international capital, and years of Tory underfunding and undermining Khan at every opportunity.
Plus Trump hates him. So that's also good.

Hope does he get on with Starmer? I'm imagining that if Trump hates him then so does Starmer.
You put forward a good case but the Labour Party really bothers me to the point I was thinking of voting Binface.

Starmer was keen to put distance between himself and Khan over ULEZ expansion (over which Labour lost the Uxbridge by-election). But then the other day had front row seats to the launch of Khan's manifesto. Starmer is being Starmer, essentially.

Conservatives are catching up in the latest poll:

Advanced. Forthright. Signifficant.
It’s a first past the post election where the Tories are trying to pull an Uxbridge with confected rage against Khan’s valiant anti-pollution, pro-environment policy agenda. The 10% of Londoners who think this is a good time to vote Green need to have a fucking word with themselves.

I see the execrable Tony Devenish is still the candidate for West Central. What a joy.

The Tories changed the voting system because they knew it was the only way that Hall would have a chance to become mayor.
Fucking FPTP bollocks.
I predict a low turnout.

Khan annoys my enemies so a vote for him is attractive. I also liked his speech at the last Diwali event.

Beware of highly motivated anti-ULEZ nobheads and similar scum, they’ll be very motivated to vote and likely spreading bollocks to everyone they know on Facebook/Whatsapp encouraging them to as well. Don’t get too complacent, didn’t Johnson get in using the vote of ‘victimised’ motorists from the outer boroughs?

I got my booklet yesterday and read it this morning. So many loons on it.
The only credible independent I see is Natalie Campbell. That's partly influenced by the fact she came to an away day at my work 3 years ago and she seemed like a really sound person who spoke to my values.
Apart from her it's Sadiq all the way for me.

Didn't Campbell try to become the Conservative candidate?

Well how can you reference a border line. And stop air going from one side to the other.

You can't but the air would most likely be cleaner in the ULEZ areas. When they do maps of most polluted areas, they can measure pollution levels street by street.
