The Tory Mayor candidate has said she was pickpocketed on the London Underground.
Susan Hall said she was “pushed and shoved” when catching the Jubilee line from Westminster and then the Metropolitan line between Finchley Road and Pinner on Monday.
Tory Mayor Candidate
When she left the tube she realised that her wallet containing her Oyster card and £40 in cash was missing.
LBC shared the story and wrote: “‘I had no idea where it could have gone.’ ‘I had no idea what happened.’ ‘I’m the luckiest woman in the world – I actually got it back.’ Can you help @NickFerrariLBC solve the mystery of Tory mayoral hopeful Susan Hall’s ‘pickpocketing ordeal’?”
This response might well chime with you.
Otto English wrote: “This is genuinely the most preposterous story I’ve ever heard. Susan Hall has zero evidence to support her theory that she was pickpocket. In all likelihood she’s dropped her oyster wallet on a seat…. and then a very kind person has gone out of their way to reunite her with it.”
This take harsh or fair?
“A kind citizen took the trouble to give Susan Hall her wallet back. Rather than appreciating the kindness & honesty of those involved,She chose to abuse this situation for political gain & call London’s crime ‘out of control’. What a horrible, vile, racist lump of shite she is.”
Sadiq Khan
Sadiq Khan says exclusion of London officials from Covid meetings cost lives, reports The Guardian.
“I think there was bad faith on the part of some members of the government,” the Labour mayor told the hearing.
“I could have pointed out some of the reasons why community transmission was going to accelerate in London,” Khan said. “Those views weren’t heard.”
“One thing I reflect upon is the difference we could have made if we had been trusted earlier to be part of that process,” he said.
“How many around Cobra knew about issues around diversity, co-morbidity, intergenerational households, overcrowded accommodation?” he said. “How many around Cobra knew that in London there are more people who work in the gig economy, work in frontline jobs where they can catch this virus?
“The GLA [Greater London authority], the mayor of London, we weren’t around that table. I think lives could have been saved if we were [there] earlier.”
