Sadiq Khan tells Zohran Mamdani how to win New York mayor election
The Times ^ | Tuesday July 22 2025 | Stefan Boscia

Sir Sadiq Khan has been informally advising the Democrats’ left-wing New York mayoral candidate on how to win his election.

Zohran Mamdani, 33, shocked America’s political establishment last month by defeating the former governor Andrew Cuomo in the race to secure his party’s nomination.

Sources say Mamdani and Khan have since exchanged texts and spoken over the phone. Khan’s advisers have also been in contact with Mamdani’s campaign team.

The sources close to Khan add that Mamdani needs to move to the centre to widen his appeal, particularly as Cuomo and the incumbent mayor, Eric Adams, are running as independents in the general election on November 4.

A Mamdani victory would mimic Khan’s route to the London mayoralty, which required him to outflank his Labour opponents from the left in the selection process only to then move back towards the centre to defeat the Conservative candidate, Zac Goldsmith, in 2016. Khan has since won re-election twice.

Mamdani’s critics have accused him of posing a danger to the city’s economic reputation. President Trump has branded him a “communist lunatic”.

Islam is a satanic death cult and has no place in civilized society.

Zohran could just focus on his natural charisma and good looks.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) was behaving like a teen age school girl when she campaigned with him for one day.

Move to the center? AKA lie to the voters about what your plans are.

Sir Sadiq Aman Khan is a British Muslim politician serving as Mayor of London since 2016. He was previously the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tooting (his birthplace) from 2005 until 2016. A member of the Labour Party, Khan is on the party’s soft left and has been ideologically characterised as a social democrat.

Born in Tooting, South London, to a British Pakistani family, Khan earned a law degree from the University of North London.

He subsequently worked as a solicitor specialising in human rights issues and chaired the Liberty advocacy group for three years. Joining the Labour Party, Khan was a councillor for the London Borough of Wandsworth from 1994 to 2006 before being elected MP for Tooting at the 2005 general election.

He was openly critical of several policies of Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair, including the 2003 invasion of Iraq and new anti-terror legislation. Under Blair’s successor Gordon Brown, Khan was appointed Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government in 2008, later becoming Minister of State for Transport.

A key ally of the next Labour leader, Ed Miliband, he served in Miliband’s Shadow Cabinet as Shadow Secretary of State for Justice, Shadow Lord Chancellor and Shadow Minister for London.

“The only difference between a muslim and a radicalized muslim is how devoutly they are willing to follow their own religious beliefs”. Once they go devout you’d better watch out.

Islam is a leftwing terrorist cult pushing a totalitarian agenda and worshiping satan (aka “allah”) and his goals of evil.

London can survive a Socialist Democrat Muslim mayor, even if it declines.

NYC won’t survive. The banks, the traders, and everything associated will flee, and all the businesses will follow. Venezuela, Argentina, just about every South and Central American prosperous area has tried this path to massive poverty and destruction. . This is the best way, not bombs, to destroy NYC. It will be an epic destruction that will be a punctuation point after the 911 attacks. This time NYC, will do it to themselves……..

After the Trump legal attacks, the media lies, the anti-conservatism, the anti-semitism, the corruption and crime, I am uncertain how to feel about NYC committing suicide. Maybe one of King Obama’s last acts before arrest will be to endorse this Socialist Democrat Muslim, and give him the legs to complete the task.

Alah Wahoo Dembar.

INshallyshally shalawaha.

Jew haters have no place in America. But Obama wanted them and we did nothing. Eventually we will war with them inside our own country.
