Sadiq Khan warns Londoners



Vote Labour or risk Farage, warns Sadiq Khan as party launches London elections campaign amid dire approval ratings

The Mayor launched Labour’s London local elections campaign in Peckham after poll showing party could lose all but two of its councils

Sadiq Khan has warned Londoners that backing smaller parties at the local elections could pave the way for Nigel Farage to become prime minister, as Labour faces a difficult set of polls.

The Mayor of London launched Labour’s local election campaign in Peckham on Thursday.



Calm down Sadiq, these are council elections, not the general election. 

He knows this of course, but once Labour strategic "thinkers" have decided to demonise someone for political advantage then that's it - they demonise away like crazy.

Fortunately Labour spin doctors stopped short of claiming a Labour vote would help keep Donald Trump out of No.10 but I bet it was a closely fought argument.

My guess is that disaffected voters in urban areas will change from Labour to Green. Gorton and Denton have already shown where the left wing protest vote is headed. That's a far more scary proposition than Nigel Farage.

Anon - I agree, far more scary.

Trump qualifies for UK citizenship through his mother. So he might fancy a spell as PM after his term in the US expires. (Presidential term, jail term, whatever.)

dearieme - good grief, imagine the hysteria.

I agree with Khan, I don't want Farage as Prime Minister, I want Rupert Lowe.

Tammly - I agree with him too, although it's painful to agree with him on anything.
