London Mayoral hustings: Webchat with Sadiq Khan MP, Labour Mayoral candidate, on Monday 25 April at 1pm

[BojanaMumsnet]

Hello

We’re pleased to announce a webchat with Sadiq Khan MP, the Labour candidate for London Mayor, on Monday 25 April at 1pm.

Sadiq grew up in South London, where he still lives. After university he worked as a human rights lawyer, and in 2005 became MP for the Tooting. He was the first Muslim to attend Cabinet, serving as Communities minister and later as Transport minister – leading on projects including Crossrail 1.

Sadiq is campaigning “for all Londoners to have the same opportunities he had: affordable housing, decent pay and the chance to get on in life and fulfil their potential”.

Please do join us live on the day or leave a question here on this thread if you can’t make it. And, as ever, please do remember our webchat guidelines; only one question each please (follow-ups allowed if there’s time) and please do be polite.

The London mayoral election will be held on 5 May.

Thanks
MNHQ

Ooh, I am impressed! No patronisation, constructive answers with background & support, empathy and good humour. If I still lived in Tooting, I'd still be voting for Sadiq :)

I notice BalhamAnnie's question was avoided!
I am suspicious of SK's lack of support of Corbyn. I'm not convinced SK "has Corbyn's back" and he is presumably more of a right wing labour MP Blairite.

Oh well better that than Bloody Goldsmith.

Yes BalhamAnnies' question was avoided as was mine too! Very difficult to answer such things... You don't know the outcome of Mayoral elections and neither ofthe referendum results but one would think a candidate could have thought waht to answer.

I'm voting for Sadiq. I'm not keen on any of Zac's policies and don't appreciate people who use negative campaigns.
