I spent more time in a modest queue of journalists, observing Shaun Bailey than I did actually talking to him directly. But it was just as instructive.

Shaun is the best-placed candidate to beat Sadiq Khan in the London mayoral elections on May 6th 2021.

But what chance does he have? He’s not being particularly well-resourced by his party, which means it’s down largely to his own campaigning.

But as you’ll hear, he counts himself as a characteristic London “hustler”.

He certainly made an impression on me with his honesty and clear sight.

With many thanks to my friend, Hendon Ward councillor Nizza Fluss, who personally organized his appearance with representatives of Shomrim and Hatzola at Hendon and Golders Green, Shaun answered my questions with clarity and brevity.

We talk about his vision of “inclusion”, which includes Jewish people, his policies on ULEZ charging, policing and stations.

And then we discuss “disgusting” Israeli Apartheid Week, his positive action after taking part in the “March of the Living” and why a trade mission to Israel is so key to restoring the fortunes of London’s post-pandemic economy.

And he says Sadiq Khan and Labour have some way to go before Jewish voters could feel comfortable again voting for them.
