It has been a busy start to the year for Laila Cunningham, the Westminster councillor newly selected as Reform UK’s candidate for the London 2028 Mayoral election.
In today’s episode, The Standard’s City Hall Editor Ross Lydall sits down with Laila Cunningham to discuss controversial remarks she made earlier this week about London not being a “Muslim city”. During this interview, Cunningham sets out plans to make wearing face coverings, including the burqa, grounds for police to stop and search Londoners. She also discloses that, despite leading Reform’s campaign for the May borough elections, she will not be standing as a candidate herself.
