Angela Rayner has said that Susan Hall is "unfit" to be London Mayor due to her "alarming" views on women’s rights.Writing exclusively for LBC, Ms Rayner, Labour’s deputy leader, said that Ms Hall would "no friend of women" in City Hall.
"London is a city of more than 4 million women and girls and for so long has been at the forefront of advancing women’s rights and the drive for greater equality," Ms Rayner said. “Susan’s Hall’s reactionary views run counter to London’s values – she’s championed Donald Trump, attacked feminism, and offended women. As someone running to be Mayor of London her views are truly alarming and make her completely unfit to take up the post.
“Whether on equal pay, combatting violence against women and girls or advancing women’s right in the workplace, Susan Hall would be no friend of women as Mayor. She’d be a direct threat to our hard-won rights. The election in May next year will be a two-horse race between Labour and the Tories. The Tories have failed our country, we can’t let them fail London too.”
Ms Rayner hit out at the Tory mayoral candidate’s 'support' of Donald Trump and comments about TV star Gemma Collins.
