A new poll has suggested that mayor Sadiq Khan is neck and neck with his Tory rival Susan Hall in the race for City Hall next year.

The survey, published in the Times and conducted by Redfield and Wilton Strategies, shows the Labour incumbent winning just 33 per cent of the vote, with Conservative candidate Susan Hall close behind on 32 per cent.

The polling of 1,100 London voters also showed that if Jeremy Corbyn decides to run as an independent, it could cause Mr Khan to lose to Ms Hall, with her winning 30 per cent and the mayor taking 25 per cent. The former Labour leader would win 15 per cent.

Mr Corbyn, who has been barred from standing for Labour in his parliamentary seat of Islington North at the next general election, has refused to rule out a run for the mayoralty.
