Default Rory Stewart: Former Tory minister quits London mayoral race

Yes Covid 19 has destroyed his chance


[Former Tory minister Rory Stewart has quit
the race to be London's mayor.
Mr Stewart was running as
an independent candidate in the contest.
"I have decided that I will not be standing
again for Mayor in the now
delayed 2021 election," he tweeted.
"It has been a great privilege to work
with so many amazing people with
such passion and vision for London.
Thank you very much again from the
bottom of my heart."]

when it is back to normal and safe again, then he has ambitions to be mayor again

not now with all those covid germs out there, i can understand him (or at least how he appears to me on pictures alone, looks very frail, almost would think he would not stand a good chance of surviving covid himself)

That's a shame tbh

I had a look on the wiki for this year's mayoral race to see who the candidates are.

Sian Berry or Drillminster would be good. Shaun Bailey is ... okay on some stuff, stupid on others.

It'll probably be Khan again though...............

He has been useless so if he is voted back in it will not be because of his record as Mayor

I'd not heard of him before, nor seen him, I was just going by what wiki said about the candidates.
