Piers Corbyn’s ‘battle bus’ made its first outing in Westminster yesterday.
Poorly-glued posters covered the sides of a rickety red car with a megaphone strapped to the top.
The London mayoral candidate, who is out to end ‘Covid con rules’ and reverse discriminatory treatment against those who refuse to wear a mask, printed ‘let London live’ and ‘no lockdowns’ on the same banner, much to the bemusement on social media.
It comes as lockdown rival Laurence Fox revealed his own battle bus carrying a picture of Sir Winston Churchill’s statue in Parliament Square.
He vowed to “unlock London” and help Brits “reclaim their freedom” as he set out to oust Sadiq Khan on the beat-up, old fashioned bus.
That’s despite many restrictions having being lifted by the time of the London mayoral election, set to take place on 6th May 2021.

Youtuber Max Fosh, 26, who is also running for mayor, challenged the controversial actor to a debate this morning.
Speaking to The London Economic he said he has been messaging Fox for a few days over email, social media and through his team.
“Each time I have not got a response.
“This is all after I had a phone call with him in a recent video in which he agreed to debate me.”
He said he “hasn’t heard a peep” from Fox or anyone at the Reclaim Party since he posted the challenge on Twitter.
He added: “I don’t expect him to turn up unfortunately.

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
