The New Muslim mayor of London is a close ally of the left of the Labour Party, namely the party leader Mr Corbyn, who he nominated in the Labour leadership contest.
Mr Corbyn's is also close to Ken Livingstone, currently suspended from the Labour Party, following his remarks about Jews and Hitler. It was Ken Livingstone who also was busy giving interviews defending his ally Nash Shah's (MP for Bradford West), disparaging references to Jews and Israel, and who on winning her seat as MP also gave a speech declaring she will fight for the rights of her constituents, as well as Palestinians and Kashmiris.
The only reason I can think of her mentioning these two overseas issues is because they both involve Muslims. I hope the new mayor unlike his Labour colleague, Ken Livingstone or Muslim MP Ms. Shah, does not spend his time in office promoting Muslim issues from around the world, but concentrates just on serving the people who elected him, ie. Londoners.
During the Mayoral contest he distanced himself from all three and now Londoners will wait to see that he puts his words into actions.
