Sadiq Khan shares platform with extremist David Cameron

Opinion: As the EU in / or referendum hots up Tory PM David Cameron is sharing a platform with Labour's new London Mayor Sadiq Khan but it is not a good look.

Catching a news clip Cameron announcing Khan as the son of a bus driver and himself as the son of a stockbroker was a new low.

Slippery Cameron is well practised at using people and this time he is using Khan. It may be by mutual agreement but is damaging.

Those who claim the EU referendum is so important party politics are abandoned haven't got a clue how most people's minds work.

It looks like throwing your hand in with the devil and alienates many.

Those in the so-called Westminster bubble, and this time we include paid political employees around the country, may be applauding but many ordinary folk and a fair few members of both parties will grimace.

We have already seen images of an EU referendum photo-shoot with Dodgy Dave Cameron standing above former Lib Dem leader Paddy Ashdown and former Labour leader Neil Kinnock. All three men were laughing but Cameron, used to offering style over substance, was strategically placed standing over the two-seated former leaders to look like he was in charge.

One man is at least for now sticking to his guns and refusing to campaign across political boundaries and that is Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

While some have criticised Corbyn for taking that stance his principled determination offers a shining light of hope; hope that there is at least one person in British politics that is not for sale to the highest bidder.

Make no mistake there are fortunes to be made or lost in politics and on the EU referendum.

Bookies stand a chance of raking money in but so do others.

These days it appears as if in many cases politicians and policy advisers in government are bought.

You only have to look at policies such as fracking, which is not the best or cleanest way forward in the search for new green energy but is the government's choice.

Someone somewhere is making big money out of each and every decision that will be made politically on fracking or else why is the government risking areas of the UK?

In 2013 " Lord Howell, Tory, was forced to apologise after insensitive comments regarding fracking. Lord Howell of Guildford, Essex, told a shocked House of Lords fracking should happen in the North East because it is filled with "desolate areas". The gasps his words received should have warned the Lord that he had gone too far but it was probably water of a duck's, or should that be Lord's, back. He carried on digging himself into a huge hole. Perhaps he was looking for shale gas in the House of Lords?"

Lord Howell is a former Tory energy minister and George Osborne’s father-in-law.

Is there any wonder the electorate is sick to death of politicians and politics and tends to steer well clear of both?

Too many people have been left believing our politicians are all the same meaning Jeremy Corbyn is a breath of fresh air to us all or rather he should and could be if in and out party backstabbing was controlled.

Crossing swords at the weekend with one Labour MP and a Labour councillor in a Labour Party Forum on Facebook this writer was left in no uncertain terms that she was being derided.

It was a double-sided attack and looking at timelines on Twitter it seemed booze may have been playing a part.

Confessing that before last year she had never heard of Jeremy Corbyn she was mocked. She was trying to make a point but gave up.

(Serious debate was not on the cards. After all she had posted a link to our report   and obviously hit a nerve).

She is one of that breed of working-class women who has worked for a living never expecting or receiving helping hands along the way. She has always had an interest in politics but no time to hand over apart from consistently voting for the Labour Party.

To be fair she was not ambitious and opted to work to live not live to work.

But should that make her spot ball for two silly young Labour men who should know better?

The two men come from the Blairite camp which is relevant.

They obviously have old history with Corbyn though it cannot date back very far looking at their images unless they are fake.

My point was for most ordinary voters Jeremy Corbyn was an unknown quantity. They or we will judge him on his actions now.

That is why constant undermining by highly paid Labour MPS and others directly linked to the party who are feeding the mainstream media a diet of anti-Corbyn drivel are self-servatives and the very people voters like to say are "all the same".

But back to Sadiq Khan.

Ed Miliband was persuaded to join forces with Cameron and hot foot it to Scotland to try and impact on the independence referendum.

When that referendum was over and Cameron began breaking promises and screwing with the Scottish people their anger turned toward the Labour Party and Ed Miliband.

David Cameron was re-elected in the 2015 General Election and as they say the rest is history.

Khan may feel he is sitting comfortable as he has just won the London Mayoral election but and it is a big but.

During the mayoral race the Tories including Cameron ran a dirty campaign.

They accused Khan of sharing a platform with Hamas; of sharing a platform with extremists and I had to note Monday he is now sharing with the biggest extremist of them all David Cameron.

The Tory candidate Zac Goldsmith played it dirty from day one but after the election his friends tried blaming campaign managers.

While there is something appealing about playing the bigger man or woman joining forces with David Cameron however briefly does not fall into that category.

It is many things but overall it is a terrible image.

Perhaps Khan does not care as the main damage could be to Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters?

The MSM now claim that Khan as mayor is on a footing with the Prime Minister but that is bunkum.

All that does is say once again North of Watford clear off.

People like this writer living well outside of London will shake our heads in dismay.

Today Sadiq Khan and I will set aside our differences to show how remaining in Europe guarantees we are better off.

Is that the Royal WE?

Karen spelled it out very well. Khan turned out to be another Thatcherite. I think he sat himself on the very wrong horse. What will he do when Cameron and Tories go down and by the look of it the black clouds are more and more. He forgot who got him there when all those accusations piled up and then being counteracted with Goldsmith's photo with the same Islamic extremist.

As for Sadiq sharing a platform with DodgyDave I personally could not after the comments Cameron made about Sadiq in the run up for mayor I would not be able to forgive and forget as for DodgyDave he seems to lie constantly and I don't think he knows the difference from the truth and lies! All this sharing seems to be very Two faced lies and hippocracy and also Sadiq seems to have his own agenda and gives the impression that he does not support Jeremy Corbin

I was utterly gobsmacked seeing Sadiq Khan sharing a platform with Cameron. After Khan's attack on Corbyn over his political stance. Then Khan's "big tent" speech. Does that "big tent" include David Cameron? Is it any wonder Labour Right are considered Tories? Labour right would rather cosy up to Cameron than their own, democratically elected, leader. Utterly disgusted by all this. If it isn't bad enough with Tony Blair, Mandy, Danczuk & John Mann, et al, we now have Sadiq Khan joining forces with Tories. You couldn't make it up could you.
