London Mayoral race: Why was a Tory election ad deleted?
An advert in support of the Conservative's London mayoral candidate, that featured scenes from New York instead of the capital has been deleted.
The clip, posted on the party's X (formerly Twitter) account, attacked London's incumbent Labour mayor, Sadiq Khan, and used footage of a stampede in a New York subway station, which Mr Khan criticised as "quite staggering".
The advert, in support of Susan Hall, was quickly removed and replaced with a video where the New York scenes had been cut. Her spokesperson said the video had been created by Conservative Party headquarters and not her campaign team.
But what did the ad actually say? And what has been the reaction? 麻豆社 Radio London's Ross Ryan has the details.
