Zac Goldsmith has been selected as the Conservative candidate for next year’s London Mayoral election.
Mr Goldsmith, whose late father Sir James Goldsmith and grandfather were Jewish, won with a landslide victory – collecting 70 per cent of the votes in the Tory selection process.
He will take on Labour candidate Sadiq Khan next May in the battle to succeed Boris Johnson in City Hall.
Mr Goldsmith told the JC last month that he would send “overt and very clear” support to reassure the capital’s Jewish community if elected.
