Episode notes
Farage At The Fox Hunt And Candidate Reveal

Crime-Focused Challenge To Khan
- Leila Cunningham frames her campaign around crime and blames Sadiq Khan's record for London's decline.
- Her being Muslim complicates the dynamic since she directly accuses Khan of deflecting criticism as Islamophobia.
