The Labour mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has issued a dramatic call to his party’s members to dump Jeremy Corbyn, saying he has been a disastrous leader who must share a large part of the blame for Britain’s forthcoming exit from the EU.

Khan, who secured the biggest win by any Labour politician against the Conservative party in more than a decade when he beat Zac Goldsmith to the mayoralty in May, throws his support behind the challenger Owen Smith, arguing that Labour faces all-but-certain defeat at the next general election without a change at the top.

The brutal intervention by Khan in an article for the Observer will give a huge boost to Smith’s camp, and comes as the party prepares to send out ballot papers this week to more than half a million members who are eligible to vote in the leadership contest.

So this is what Labour Party members should be focused on? Not the extremely quick rise in racism & hate crime, not the fact that in the constituency of the deceased MP Jo Cox, a party trumpeting racism (Liberty GB) intends to put forward a candidate for the seat. Nope, inspite of the fact that the majority of the membership of the Labour Party have voted for Corbyn, we’re supposed to be focused on what the PLP wants & needs, Corbyn’s departure.

Corbyn should be leader because he’s the one that has spoken up loudest on austerity, but Owen Smith still looks very, very confident & I won’t be the only one asking myself why?

Labour’s New Leader?
