Susan Hall, the Conservative London Mayoral Candidate, speaking to protesters during an anti-Ulez protest in Trafalgar Square.

A senior Conservative politician has been mocked online after taking exception to a supermarket biscuit.

Posting a picture of the offending item on X, she said: “Look at this nonsense – NO – they are gingerbread men!!!”
