I’m glad Laurence Fox is off the ballot for London mayor. But I’d love a Jammie Dodger with his canvassers | Zoe Williams

While I was out, a canvasser came to the door and asked Mr Z to sign a nomination form for Laurence Fox to get on to the ballot for the London mayoral election.

While I, quite emphatically, don’t want Laurence Fox on the ballot either, I am sad that this makes it unlikely I’ll meet any more Reclaim canvassers, as I would invite them in, entice them even with a Jammie Dodger, and try to get to the bottom of what the hell they think they’re playing at.

As local and mayoral elections approach, the doorstep once again becomes the crucible of political possibility.

Young people don’t even like you to phone them up without a written warning by text, and that’s when you’re their mum.

An unexpected knock at the door from someone who isn’t carrying a parcel would process like a tear in the fabric of reality.
