Having a Mayor: No shows, bridges and political hairdos

Having a Mayor follows the thrills, spills, faffs and gaffes of the 2024 race for Mayor of London, with BBC London's Karl Mercer, Tim Donovan and Susana Mendonça discussing the latest issues, debates, candidates, campaigns and more.

This week, with Labour, Conservatives and the Lib Dems failing to turn up for political hustings, our team attempts to wrap their heads around what's different about this race for mayor, and what the impact on the result might be.

The BBC London trio also look at how the ongoing row over Hammersmith Bridge is impacting the race for mayor. And we take a behind-the-scenes look at the mini-manifestos of all 13 candidates.

We would like to hear your questions about the mayoral election, your thoughts, observations and - don't be shy - your rants. Whatsapp the team on 08000 321 333 starting the message with "London". Or email hello.bbclondon@bbc.co.uk.
