Is this Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London)'s family or not?!

Hi all,
Got into a silly debate with someone about whether the group photo of Sadiq Khan (mayor of london) in the papers is him with his family or not!

www.metro.news/happy-eu-year-khans-pro-europe-display-in-london-sparks-fireworks/1374870/

^ The photo on the link here

I'm like 100000% sure that is NOT his family - if anything, they are all white europeans - I'm sure his wife is of Asian descent and none of them look even remotely like his family (when googling him with his family e.g. his daughters don't look like the women in the picture).

The picture has not got a caption so can't settle this debate. They're convinced that the wife has somehow dyed her hair blonde etc. but it's still not the same person nor the daughers nor whoever the other guy in the photo is..

I know it's soo trivial and doesn't matter but let me know your views haha

No that’s not Sadiq Khan’s family (he lives round the corner so see him with his family regularly)

Looks like they're the staff running the event... Weird thread

I doubt if his whole family would be wearing high vis jackets on a night out! They look like stewards at the NYE fireworks

I know less than nothing about SK’s family, but surely the fact that all the others apart from SK are wearing the same lanyards and hi-vis jackets, and the photos looks like volunteers having a collective selfie with the mayor, suggests they aren’t?

@Pleasedontdothat we must be practically neighbours! He lives on the next road up from me.

If you Google Sadiq Khan wife or kids you can probably find a pic if you care.

SoupDragon · 02/02/2019 13:44

Why on earth would anyone think those people are his family??

Somethingsmellsnice · 02/02/2019 13:44

But but but
Why would you even think they were his family?

Somethingsmellsnice · 02/02/2019 13:45

SoupDragon crosspost/great minds!

SoupDragon · 02/02/2019 13:55

I was expecting there to be some kind of doubt, but no.

LostInShoebiz · 02/02/2019 15:11

Clearly working at the fireworks event.

PortiaCastis · 02/02/2019 15:17

They're very very obviously staff working at the event without a doubt

FlyingMonkeys · 02/02/2019 15:24

Umm well for a start he's 48 and clearly 3 of those people in the photo are approx 38-42? 😆

GinasGirl · 02/02/2019 15:27

That must have been a frustrating debate! He's clearly with staff members at an event. They're wearing high vis and lanyards!!

Just google Sadiq Khan's family .... lots of pictures ... very simple

People saying they live in the next road up etc from Sadiq Khan ... be careful, his address is online so you are effectively saying where you live on an Internet forum
