Sadiq Khan says the Labour Party must 'change the entire music we are playing' to defeat Boris Johnson
Sadiq Khan warns that the Labour Party must change dramatically to defeat Boris Johnson.
In an interview with Business Insider, Khan said that any Labour leadership candidate who "can't accept" the scale of the party's recent election defeat does not have "the route map back to winning." However, Khan, who is seeking a second term as London's mayor, said his party needed to change both "the band" and "entire music we are playing," not just its "lead singer."
He said: "Our return of MPs was the worst since 1935. Anybody who can't accept that I don't think has the route map back to winning. Khan told Business Insider that Labour must be "careful" about demanding specific characteristics of its next leader, like being a certain gender or from a particular region of the country.
However, he added: "By the same token, it'd be great if we had a woman leader. And it'd be greater if we chose an MP who can appeal to the whole country, as clearly our next leader needs to do.
