I’m glad in the article they say that Khan is part of the centrist Labour establishment. For any US people that aren’t aware, Mamdani’s win is a way bigger jump to the left for New York than Khan was/is for London, even though Johnson came before him. I wish Khan was like Mamdani in this aspect, London could really use someone like that too



They wouldn’t do this when the better option for them is to make Mamdani’s ambitions for New York as hard as possible to bring to fruition. Even if they only hinder him a bit, any inability at all from Mamdani to do every single thing he wants to do (and things they claim he wants to do) will see relentless coverage in the right wing media (and likely also some from liberal media) in order to paint it as a “failed project” and how “unrealistic socialism is.” That serves them far better than just disappearing the guy
I see your point about how they will try and make Mamdani look as bad as possible in the meeting but he could withstand it far better than Zelenskyy, I reckon. Nothing wrong with Zelenskyy on that front, just it’s obvious Mamdani would do better
