[On Sadiq Khan backing Owen Smith for Labour leader]
.@SadiqKhan was elected to serve the people of London, but instead he spends his time writing articles to help his masters in Tel Aviv.

Sadiq Khan has an approval rating of approximately +30 in London and Corbyn an approval rating of -25. By refusing to back Corbyn, Khan is listening to the electorate of London by not backing a failing leader just to please Corbyn's loud but not numerous backers.
@Indicible :
The far right hate him due to their anti-Muslim bigotry, the far left hate him because of their conspiracy theory mindset and anti-Semitism.
If you want people to think Corbyn isn't an anti-Semite, you're not helping.
This also happens to be the second good example in a row of "self-projection as the people", as I've dubbed it. What you want Khan to do is not the same as what the average Khan voter wants him to do, but you're too self-absorbed to face that fact.
Hmm.I like Sadiq Khan (voted for him) and Jeremy Corbyn too.
But then I like shawarma kebabs and pickled herrings, so am obviously untrustworthy.
The tragic thing is that Sadiq Khan was one of those MPs who nominated Jeremy Corbyn last year enabling Corbyn to become Labour party leader. Those who dare step out of line and say that they think Corbyn has shown himself to be ineffective, incompetent, hypocritical - besides having a troubled relationship with the truth - are cast into outer darkness by many of his more vocal supporters with a side serving of racism. At least, as Sadiq Khan is male, he was spared the misogyny so often associated with reactions on Twitter to criticism of Corbyn by women.
This post is conspiracist, racist and part of the fundie mindset so familiar to Americans from the Tea Party. Change a word here and there, and there's little to distinguish the rhetoric of the wilder Twitter fans of Trump on the far right and those of Corbyn on the far left.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
