Back in 2000, Susan Kramer was the first (and in many ways most successful) Liberal Democrat candidate for Mayor of London. Here is her party political broadcast from that campaign, featuring several familiar faces including a young Mike Tuffrey and also Susan’s husband, John, who died tragically early in 2006:

Also available on YouTube here, and for a young Lembit Opik see here.

Thanks to Pete Dollimore and Rob Fenwick for their help in rescuing this footage from an old video tape.
