I had to google TUSC - Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition. They have almost as many candidates as Reform. I'd never heard of them.We don't seem to have a local election thread so I'll just put these tallies here

Might be worth starting a Locals '24 thread?We don't seem to have a local election thread so I'll just put these tallies here

London Assembly 'top up lists': Animal Welfare Party - People, Animals, Environment; Britain First; Christian People's Alliance; Communist Party of Britain; Conservatives; Heritage Party; Labour Party; Liberal Democrats; Reform UK – London Deserves Better; Rejoin EU; Social Democratic Party; The Green Party
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)
That was for Mayor. He got on the London wide list as an independent solo candidate.Thought Fox had failed to fill his form in properly and wasn't running any more?
Hope does he get on with Starmer? I'm imagining that if Trump hates him then so does Starmer.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.
I see the execrable Tony Devenish is still the candidate for West Central. What a joy.
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.
Well how can you reference a border line. And stop air going from one side to the other.What's wrong with that?
