Sadiq Khan dropped a major hint about his future political ambitions this morning, refusing to deny he has his eye on No. 10 Downing Street. Speaking to American news outlet CNBC, the London Mayor suggested he could do a better job as PM than his mayoral predecessor Boris Johnson.
Asked whether he wants a fourth term in City Hall, “I'm enjoying being the mayor of London. I think I've got the greatest job in the world. Is only about a year ago where I won that historic record breaking mandate, so let’s wait and see.” Asked whether he could “see [being Prime Minister] in your future”, he answered: “Well, my message is, if you've seen what a mess he made of being Prime Minister, you don't mess near the office of Prime Minister.” The clear refusal to rule out ambitions to become Prime Minister will be greeted with fear in Downing Street, with Keir Starmer anxious about attempts to oust him.
Mr Khan has been making a number of overtures in recent months to win support from Labour’s grassroots, including calling Brexit a “mistake” and aiming insults at Donald Trump.
According to Bet365, Mr Khan is only the 11th most likely person to be the next Labour Party leader, though that could jump if he were to return to the Commons in a by-election.
Boris Johnson returned to Parliament in 2015, a year before he concluded his final term as London mayor in 2016.
Last week it was claimed plotting Labour MPs have given Keir Starmer a year to turn things around, after a chaotic u-turn on Winter Fuel cuts.
He’s also facing a rebellion of as many as 150 Labour MPs on welfare cuts amid concerns from his own troops that the government is going in “the wrong direction”.

muzzie scumbag.
Kick that moslem and his moslem friends the heck out of the UK.
Makes perfect sense. Why not have a English hating bastid do to the rest of Britain what he has done to London? Go look at most any cancer — they metastasize.
I predicted this years, ago. He will be the first Muslim British PM.
Hey, let them poor Muslims “migrate” aka “invade” and they will “assimilate” aka “conquer” and make that country a beacon of freedom aka part of their quest to create a worldwide Caliphate under Sharia Law.
