The Conservative candidate for London Mayor, Shaun Bailey, is speaking at Tory conference today. But who is he, and what does he believe in? This is what he won’t tell you in his speech…

• Bailey personally helped to implement huge cuts to the police and youth services when he was Special Adviser for Crime and Youth in Downing Street – contributing to rising violent crime across the country. See here.
• Bailey has a long record of divisive and misogynist views. He once said that multiculturalism risks turning Britain into a “crime-riddled cesspool” and that accommodating Hindus and Muslims “robs Britain of its community”.

• Bailey once claimed that “good looking” girls “tend to have been around” and that “poor people” require “rules” and “direction” or else they will turn to crime.
• Bailey recently dismissed homelessness and the NHS funding crisis as “hype”. 
• Bailey is putting Londoners’ lives at risk by opposing every single action Sadiq Khan has taken to tackle toxic air pollution in London – from this year’s introduction of the Ultra-Low Emissions Zone to the building of new Cycleways.
• Bailey is a hardline Brexiteer who is backing Boris Johnson every step of the way towards a catastrophic no-deal.
