London mayor calls for Labour to ditch Corbyn as leader

London's mayor called on fellow members of Britain's opposition Labour Party to replace leader Jeremy Corbyn, saying his failure to drum up support for Britain remaining in the EU showed he could not command the backing of voters. Sadiq Khan is one of Labour's most influential members after beating a challenger from the ruling Conservative party to become London's first Muslim mayor earlier this year - a big prize for a party struggling in the opinion polls. In a boost to lawmaker Owen Smith, who is challenging for the Labour leadership, Khan broke his silence over who he was backing in the contest to say Corbyn could not lead the party to victory at the next election due in 2020.
