4. I have a silly question at this point

May 2024

Has anyone else been getting adverts on social media for London Mayoral candidates, despite not living in London?

I don't live anywhere near that there London town, but I've been getting ads from Susan Hall and some weird looking "independent" called Brian Rose online. Might even have had a couple from Sadiq Khan!

I get well targeted (if dreadful) online adverts from the local MP and her Labour challenger, so why are some London Mayoral campaigns unable to target people who actually live in London?
