Laurence Fox failed to show up for a debate with Youtuber Max Fosh in the race for the London mayor elections today.
The 26-year-old waited for Fox in front of the Reclaim Party headquarters with two lecterns after challenging him for a debate yesterday.
Fosh has argued they are both polling one per cent – as does Count Binface.
Last month, Fox told Sadiq Khan to not be a “coward” and debate with him, after Mr Khan said he would not engage with politicians “on the extreme far right”.
In a video, Fox has suggested debating policies with Youtuber Max Fosh, but Fosh said he’s had no luck in speaking to him since then, despite consistent efforts.
He told The London Economic: “Each time I have not got a response.
“A man who is very vocal about the freedom of having conversation with everyone, you would think he would want to talk to ol’ Maxi”.
He added: “Debates are a great way for candidates to discuss their policies and their difference of opinions”.
Fosh said he has no idea what Fox’s policies are: “I want to hear them from his mouth, that’s why I want a debate.”
Fosh thinks his own policies are “good”, and “all Londoners could get behind them”.
If elected mayor, he would give professor Chris Whitty a clicker so that he doesn’t have to say ‘next slide please’ anymore in government press briefings.

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.
