Tory Mayor candidate Susan Hall says colleagues who offered her a makeover can ‘sod off’
FIREBRAND Tory Susan Hall says her colleagues can “sod off” after they offered her a makeover.
The London mayoral candidate said she was “bloody livid” when campaigners offered to transform her look in the battle to beat Labour’s Sadiq Khan.
She was made the offer earlier in the race by campaigners for Women2Win, it is understood.
The group was founded in 2005 by Theresa May to support Tory women in politics.
But Ms Hall told the Sun on Sunday: “I was absolutely bloody livid if that’s the only assistance you can get.
“The fact that I needed a makeover was made on several occasions…it would take a very long time and it wouldn’t work. They can sod off.
“I was so bloody mad I can’t begin to tell you. I really was livid. Women shouldn’t treat other women like that. I can’t tell you how cross I was.”
Ms Hall will be the first female Mayor of London if she beats the incumbent Mr Khan on Thursday next week.
She has put fighting violence against women and girls at the heart of her campaign.
Vowing to put CCTV in every Underground carriage, Ms Hall said: “Women are feeling less and less safe. Something has got to be done.”
She has also pledged to appoint a “women’s commissioner” focused on making the capital safer for women.
Influencer Georgie Clarke – who was sexually harassed on the Tube – has backed Ms Hall’s women’s safety plan.
She said: “Susan understands that women and girls’ lives are disrupted en masse because of violence.”
Ms Hall has also vowed to scrap the hated Ulez policy and “end the war on drivers”.
Women2Win were approached for comment.
