As for the second paragraph of what I said was, could be better explained by what was on Radio4 this lunch time by Corbyn or rather the political analysis - If Corbyn / Labour get a hammering then their defence will be that of those awkward questions the press have asked re the anti Semitics coverage have had an effect and is part of the plot to oust Corbyn. Whereas if Corbyn / Labour are seen to have gained - then he will save it is vindication of his policies (whatever they are).
Khan will do much the same - if he loses he'll blame it on nasty Zac Goldsmith etc, which is why I would love to see the demographic - how many Muslim votes they both get , how many christian, Jewish, Atheist votes they get. How and that is represented across London.
Muslims in London are just over 1 million - about 12% - so presumably would all vote for Khan , just like poeple in valleys will always vote Labour regardless.
Should be an interesting night. Personally I think Corbyn will take quite a bashing - and there will be a leadership contest sometime after the EU referendum. Same goes for Cameron.
ps - I never knew Michael Foot and Tony Benn both voted not to join the EU and actively campaigned against it
