The Rt Hon Sadiq Khan, MP

Labour Member of Parliament

Former human rights lawyer Sadiq Khan is the current frontrunner in the London mayoral election campaign. Having served as MP for Tooting for over a decade, Khan’s experience as transport secretary under Gordon Brown may prove useful when addressing the complexities of London’s tubes, buses and trains. Khan has stated his intention to advocate for London rather than for Labour as mayor, and insists he won’t be a ‘patsy’ for Jeremy Corbyn. One of eight siblings, he was born into a working-class British Pakistani family and grew up on a council estate in Earlsfield.
