London Mayoral hopeful Laurence Fox today vowed to ban Covid passports in the capital and promised a ‘no-mask mandate’ as he launched his manifesto.
The outspoken actor, who unveiled his policies in front of a bus with the message ‘Free London’, said he wanted to ‘stop the child abuse’ and remove face coverings from pupils in schools.
Mr Fox has also this week promised six months of free rides on buses and tubes in a bid to boost the capital’s economy after more than a year in lockdown.
The plans would cost Transport for London some £500 million in lost fares, but Mr Fox insists the boom it would provide to the city’s economy would easily see money recouped.

Writing on Twitter today he said: ‘ Stop the child abuse and follow the science. No masks in London schools EVER again. Your London. Your Freedom. Reclaim it.
‘As your mayor, I will make London a COVID passport free city. And there will be no mask mandate, including for children in schools. Your London. Your Freedom. Reclaim it.’
Mr Fox last week launched a drive-by heckle at Sadiq Khan as he kicked off his bid to take him on in the election.
The 42-year-old actor is standing as a candidate for the Reclaim Party that he set up last year to fight the ‘culture wars’ taking place in Britain.
Launching his campaign to a crowd in Westminster, Mr Fox said that the current Mayor ‘Khan’t’ be trusted to lead the capital, and that he was ‘ashamed to be British’.
He then boarded a ‘Free London’ branded battle bus before riding to a campaign event the Mayor was holding nearby.
In a high-pitched voice, Mr Fox shouts: ‘Alright Sadiqi-wiqi! I’m nicking your house, mate!’ as he passes the incumbent mayor.
Mr Fox today attacked London’s ‘cathedral of wokery’ as he pledged to erect hundreds more statues of military heroes across London in response to protests to remove the likes of Winston Churchill’s bust last summer.
He also said that he will refuse to take a Covid vaccine until 2023 when monitoring for some of the jabs will be completed.
His campaign for the May elections will be completely funded by a donation from ex-Tory political donor and financier Jeremy Hosking, who is worth £375million.
Mr Fox has promised to ‘unlock London’ in May if elected, and said he would help people to ‘reclaim their freedom’.
Arriving at his campaign launch on a bus daubed with the slogan ‘Free London’, Mr Fox said: ‘I am not a politician. I never wanted to be a politician,’ before quipping that he ‘used’ to be an actor.
