Reform’s London mayoral candidate Laila Cunningham ‘is slumlord’

According to reports in the Mirror, Reform UK’s mayoral candidate Laila Cunningham is co-owner of a parasite-riddled and mould-plagued ‘squat hotel’. Cunningham is running on a race-war platform.

Her ‘New Dawn’ hotel — which sounds more like a fascist European party than a hotel — has:

been swamped by negative reviews including complaints it has been the target of theft.

Cunningham defected from the Tories and owns an almost £4m flat, but guests have warned people not to stay there, saying it is unsafe and infested with bed bugs and mould. The property is owned by Plaza Continental Hotels Ltd. Companies House shows Cunningham owns 5% of the company’s shares under her previous married name Laila Dupuy.

The hotel’s website boasts that it prides itself “on going the extra mile to make your stay in London truly comfortable” — but has an average 2.7 star rating on Google with reviews like:

Rooms stink you cant open the door and not feel a really strong smell, not safe place for [women]… especially.

One female guest reported having to tie the room door shut with a hairdryer cable to try to feel safe:

I [was] staying there with my friend. And from the first time we walked in, we never felt safe. We literally had to tied up our door of the room [with a hairdryer cable] to be able to fall asleep but it was nearly impossible.

Another guest, who had to climb out of a window and move to another hotel after being locked in his room, said:

I think what had me even more concerned was the fact I could just be locked into the room so easily. If that was like another floor, or if there was a fire or something there’d literally be no way out.

Staff had to unscrew the door to let me back in. They refused to give me a new room, instead suggesting I wait for a cleaner and a locksmith (at 9 PM!)… No refund was offered after this disaster.

Others reported dirty toilets and even being disturbed by a prostitute knocking on the room door twice before hotel staff “ushered” the woman upstairs.

In an X post, Cunningham said her immigrant mother had bought the hotel and accused the paper of being a “far-left outlet”. Trump fan Cunningham, who has had several companies struck off for alleged law-breaking, has begun her mayoral campaign with an attack on Muslims.
