The Mayor of London suggested that his Manchester counterpart did not receive the same criticism because"he's called Andy Burnham. Whereas I’m called Sadiq Khan”
The Mayor of London suggested the reason for the disparity was because “he’s not called Ahmed Bourani. He’s called Andy Burnham. Whereas I’m called Sadiq Khan”.“I’d ask those Jewish people to just pause and reflect on their response to me calling for a ceasefire. What motivated them to come out in the way they did against the Mayor of London and not the Mayor of Greater Manchester?” Mr Khan added.
“But, it wasn’t fair of me to have levelled that frustration at the Chief Rabbi. I am sorry for any hurt this has caused and will continue working with Jewish leaders to build a safer London for everyone,” he added.it was “important we continue to bring communities in our great city together”. The Prime Minister’s deputy spokesperson declined to comment on the matter when questioned on Friday. She said No 10 was hopeful that a major protest against the Israel-Hamas war planned in London on Saturday would remain “a safe and welcoming environment for everyone”.
