Sadiq Khan ‘is sexist & has a woman problem’ says Tory Mayoral favourite
THE grassroots favourite to become the Tory Mayor candidate has lashed out at Sadiq Khan as a sexist who has a woman problem.
New front-runner Susan Hall tells The Sun how she thinks the current London Mayor can’t stand her, appears to ignore her in public and seems to have issues with females at the top of politics.
It comes after Daniel Korski was forced to quit the race last week after Daisy Goodwin accused him of groping her when he was an aide in No10.
There are now just two candidates remaining to go up against Sadiq for the Mayoral race next year.
Assembly Member Ms Hall called on Korski to face a probe over the “serious allegations” and questions have mounted up for Tory HQ on how he was allowed to become a candidate.
Hall – now the grassroots favourite to rack up enough member support to see off her rival, Moz Hossain – today turns her fire on the current Mayor of London.
She said: “I am a bloody difficult woman – he doesn’t like that.
“He utterly hates me, he doesn’t like women very much. In person he just adverts his eyes, doesn’t like to know I am there.”
She claimed he ignored her saying hello when she got into a lift at City Hall, and she was forced to make small talk with his security staff instead.
When grilled on whether she thinks he is a sexist, she replied: “I could be led to think that by the way he treats people”.
She went on: “I dont know what it is. He’s very dismissive.
“I’ve got used to it. you have to get on with things, not be too precious.

“He’s dismissive to all the women, but he’s far worse to us Tory women. He clearly doesn’t like being told by women at all… that’s how he is.”
The two candidates will face a vote by London Conservative Party members, who will choose the final person to go up against Sadiq Khan at next year’s Mayoral election.
Ms Hall told The Sun she wants to make London safe for women again – and admitted she too is now scared to walk the streets for fear of being hit by crime.
She has also vowed to end free tube travel for friends and family of TfL workers – saving £200million to plough into our police instead.
A spokesperson for the Mayor, Mr Khan, declined to comment.
