EXCERPT:
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has called for a change of direction for Labour after the party suffered heavy setbacks in London’s local elections, saying the results reflected a “far-reaching disillusionment” among voters and an “existential” threat if it fails to change course.In a strongly worded statement following the results, Khan described the outcome as “bitterly disappointing for Labour in London” and acknowledged that many traditional supporters had turned away from the party.“Many people who voted Labour at the last general election clearly feel angry, disappointed and let down,” the London Mayor said, adding that voters were frustrated by the “slow pace of change” under the current leadership.
