Conservative London mayor candidate Susan Hall has claimed Jewish people are “frightened” by Sadiq Khan.

Ms Hall made her remarks in a speech at the Conservative Party Conference.

Ms Hall told a fringe event: “I live in North London and I know the wealth and joy of the (Jewish) community. But I tell you something else, I know how frightened some of the community is because of the divisive attitudes of Sadiq Khan.”

She continued: “One of the most important things that we can do when I become Mayor of London is make it safer for everybody, but particularly for our Jewish communities.”

She added: “We need to defeat him for our Jewish community.”
