London mayoral race explodes: Reform UK London mayoral candidate Laila Cunningham erupts on stage

Reform UK has officially announced Westminster City Councillor Laila Cunningham as its candidate for the 2028 London mayoral election. Appearing alongside party leader Nigel Farage, Cunningham said “London needs Reform” as she launched a strong attack on Labour Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan. The former Conservative councillor pledged an “all-out war on crime,” promising tougher action and a new direction for the capital. Labour responded by accusing Reform UK of offering London “division and decline.” The announcement marks a significant moment in London politics as parties position themselves early for the high-profile mayoral race.
