Ask Laila Cunningham a Question

Born in London to Egyptian immigrant parents, she is a practising Muslim, mother of seven, and defected from the Conservatives to Reform UK in 2025. In January 2026, Reform UK named her as their candidate for the 2028 London mayoral election, focusing on tough crime policies, controlled immigration, and British values.

We Recommend Freespoke: The AI Search Tool Built For Independent Thinkers.
At Triggernometry, we’ve built a community of independent thinkers. We’re not here to tell you what to think; we’re here to explore ideas honestly and let you make up your own mind. Freespoke shares that ethos, which is why we’re pleased to partner with them.
When the mainstream twists the facts, Freespoke helps you find the truth
In today’s digital world, it’s hard to know what’s real. Big Tech algorithms filter what you see, hide inconvenient facts, and decide which voices are heard.

Next time you are unsure of the facts, ask Freespoke and find the truth.

How do you plan to address housing?
London is notoriously expensive, however there are vested interests voting to keep house prices high because it benefits boomers and investors who would be unhappy if it were more affordable. Does this mean London will always be the place where young people spend 70% of their income after tax on rent if they can’t get a job elsewhere?
And also, why is it so hard to get a job as a young person? I know so many people who cannot get apprenticeships, and at the same time no one can find a carpenter to do XYZ job around the house. Are you going to do something about that also?
Cheers in advance, and good luck. Someone should give the Ayatollah Khan the thrashing he deserves.
Hi Leila, love your straight talking and sharpness during interviews.
My question is:
Reform are this country’s last chance to make a real change to the political landscape. How confident are you that they can dominate “the blob”, as Dominic Cummings calls it. My real fear is that Reform will win the next election and nothing will change!
