On 5th January, Sunday, the Mayor of London slammed former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and admitted that he believes voters “got it right” in the recently conducted general elections on December 12. Speaking to The Times, Sadiq Khan re-instated that Labour's performance in the elections was “catastrophic” and asked,
“Hand on heart, did we deserve to win the general election? Probably not, so the British public got it right.”
When asked if Corbyn should have accepted more of the blame, Khan said,
“What Jeremy and those around him should have the humility to recognise is [they] let Corbyn be Corbyn, and we got pasted. It’s not just about changing the lead singer, it’s the whole band. The music was wrong.
“We’re Labour, a party that’s about anti-racism. For the leadership not to understand the impact of us being seen to condone anti-semitism is heartbreaking. We’ve demonstrated a breathtaking lack of emotional intelligence — or humanity.”
Sadiq Khan is the Labour candidate for the upcoming Mayor of London elections in May 2020.
