Brian Rose looks like a sleazy estate agent who's outed as a serial killer.

Brian's - a 31 day festival? Would this be a giant carnival with no work for a whole month? (If so I'm down)


I bet he's planning to hold it in June.

Incredibly, there are 9 more candidates.

That "Brian for Mayor" bloke has been running expensive looking YouTube adverts for the past couple of months. He's an American who struts around like he's Vince McMahon, while continually wearing a power suit straight out of 1985.

I hear he's a big Hughie Lewis and the news fan so he can't be that bad.

It's the amount of policies that couldn't be implemented that always annoys me. You shouldn't be allowed to make promises you can't keep.

Brian for mayor had the best campaign video ever, where he just punches a bag for 15 minutes. I'll try find it

An absurd amount of mayoral candidates, including Shaun Bailey by the looks of it, don't seem to understand what powers the mayor actually has.

Surely this type of campaigning has to be illegal?

"Valerie Brown- The last mayor of London" sounds like a threat. I was shocked how many people were running when I went through that brochure, surely Sadiq Khan is going to win in a historic landslide.

Bailey is saying he's going to roll back council tax which I'm pretty sure he can't do as that power is held by local council not the GLC. There's one guy who's trying to pitch himself as re-joining the EU which is definitely outside the remit of the Mayor of London.

Count Binface is also running apparently but didn't feature in the brochure.
