London Mayoral Candidate Susan Hall Compared to Donald Trump

Susan Hall, the Conservative candidate for the London mayoral election, has faced criticism and comparisons to Donald Trump due to her social media activity. She liked tweets praising Enoch Powell, retweeted far-right figures like Katie Hopkins, and made controversial comments about Jewish people.
