"I see on a daily basis the damage Brexit has done to not just London, but Londoners, the damage economically, socially and culturally. The facts have changed. The evidence has changed... I think it's inevitable, the direction of travel at some stage we're going to rejoin the European Union."
"Keir Starmer is in office but not in power. Ed Miliband is deciding foreign policy, Angela Rayner is deciding immigration policy, and now Sadiq Khan is deciding EU policy. Only Kemi Badenoch's Conservatives are serious about cutting welfare, cutting taxes and getting Britain working again."
"We want people, if they come here, to properly contribute, to integrate and get involved. I would hope that the Labour government would listen to myself, Angela Rayner, Andy Burnham and many others who have expressed concerns."
London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan has urged Labour to commit to rejoining the European Union in the next general election, expected in 2029. He argues that Brexit has caused significant economic, social, and cultural damage to London and its residents. Khan suggests rejoining is inevitable and hints the UK could do so without another referendum. He also backs reconsideration of the government's asylum crackdown policies, expressing hope that Labour leadership will listen to concerns raised by multiple senior figures. The Conservative Party criticized Khan's remarks, claiming Prime Minister Keir Starmer lacks control over his government, with various ministers determining different policy areas.
