Sadiq Khan is expected to attack the Government’s “denial and avoidance” of the “immense damage” he says Brexit is causing.
In a speech at London’s Mansion House Government dinner in the City of London today, The Mayor of London will contend that the government needs to move away from an “unnecessarily hardline version” of Brexit and move toward greater alignment with Europe.
Though Mr Khan's criticism is directed at the Government, it could also be perceived as a swipe at Mr Starmer's Brexit stance, from a senior member of the party. Mr Khan, who took office in 2016, will point to the economic effects of UK leaving trade bloc, including GDP reducing by 5.5 percent, and set out how to “sensibly and maturely mitigate the damage that’s being inflicted”.
“It’s weakened our economy, fractured our union and diminished our reputation. But, crucially, not beyond repair.
