Will Homelessness Crisis Be The Top Election Issue?

May 8, 2026 4:06 pm Published by

It’s election season, so let’s break it down on the Friday Round Table.

London Deputy Mayor Shawn Lewis and former city councillor Cheryl Miller joined Craig at the Covent Garden Market studio to look at whether homelessness will be the top issue, their impression of the mayor’s race after the first week of the campaign and how many competitive ward races London may have.

Then, they talk about news that London Health Sciences Centre will have to replace more than 1,300 windows at University Hospital – while also in a legal battle over the allegedly shoddy work ordered by former hospital executives.
