London mayor calls on Shaun Bailey to resign all his positions

It seems a fair point.He did a lot better than expected in the Mayor elections and probably could have done better if his the Conservatives hadn't thrown in the towel early.Should he resign? He has already resigned from some of his roles. What about fines?"It is unacceptable for people to be breaking the rules. That was not authorised by the Conservative Party," Mr Shapps told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.No waiting for Sue Gray in this case it seems.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-60071115

A populist line I think.  Perhaps that was the reason the Conservatives pulled their financial support.  It didn't tie in with their plans.

I didn't vote for Shaun but I wonder if the Conservatives prefered Khan winning?They gave up early on him and fielded (indirectly) another candidate.Here are some of the photos - without cake I might add!https://www.indy100.com/politics/shaun-bailey-christmas-party-photos-b1976435

No, I changed my car in 2019 bearing in mind the extension of the ULEZ.  But I do not live within the ULEZ zone.

Not enough void papers to effect the result in any way at all.

And Shaun Bailey was going to stop it. Also lots of the votes were void. Because the forms were not clear.

Just a reminder, Sadiq Khan won an election with expanding the ULEZ as one of his key policies.

Did you have to buy a new vehicle to go to work Ivonne, it cost my other half a bomb, just so he didn't have to pay to drive out of our road into the High Street. It just goes on and on. How many vehicles does Sadiq use. One rule for one.

Many people do not like Khan but I do not think Shaun Bailey did himself any favours.Also, it surprised me at the time that in his campaign, Bailey wanted to undo all those LTNs that had been ordered by the Ministry of Transport.  A clash of ideas there?  Or a populist line?

Lets hope Shaun Bailey is Mayor next, the only reason Sadiq wants him out is because he did nearly as well as him. Most people think Sadiq is a little Sh-t.

Why anybody at all thought it was OK is the question?
