The Evening Standard's use of a photo of Susan Hall is described as having a 'whiff of misogyny'.

End of twitter post by Evening Standard

In a letter shared on Twitter, Ms Aiken wrote to Evening Standard editor Dylan Jones, saying: "I am writing to you to express my sincere disappointment in your front page today. "Your choice of photo of Susan Hall is a clear mockery, and it is contemptible, especially as the first female candidate for London mayor from either of the two main parties."

Party chairman Greg Hands backed Ms Aiken's complaint, saying the coverage was "extremely disappointing". Ms Hall was running against only one other hopeful, Mozammel Hossain, after David Cameron's former special adviser Daniel Korski dropped out of the race.Ms Hall will go up against Labour incumbent Sadiq Khan on 2 May.
