London mayor call for change of Llabour leaders

London's Mayor Sadiq Khan has called on fellow party members to replace Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.


In an article in The Observer, Mr Khan warns that the Labour Party "cannot go on like this," urging party members to ditch Mr Corbyn in next month's leadership election.

The popular London Mayor, who until now has been tight lipped over who he is backing for party leader, announced his support for Mr Corbyn's rival, Owen Smith.

In the damning article, Mr Khan accuses the Labour leader of failing to "win the trust a nd respect of the British people," saying his lack of leadership had become clear during the EU referendum.
