Sadiq Khan & Mamdani stand united against Trump? London Mayor urges UK to stand up to bullies

London Mayor Sadiq Khan praised Zohran Mamdani’s landslide victory in New York City’s mayoral race, calling it a rejection of “fear and division” and a win for hope, unity, and progressive leadership. Khan celebrated Mamdani for running an inclusive, upbeat campaign that resonated across communities, emphasizing that faith should be incidental—not divisive. He drew parallels between London and New York as multicultural, liberal, and successful cities, asserting that both cities stand as the “antithesis of everything Donald Trump is about.” Khan encouraged new mayors to champion their cities’ interests—working with national leaders when possible and standing up to them if needed.
