Jemima Khan distances herself from her brother's mayoral bid: 'sad that Zac's campaign did not reflect who I know him to be'

Following Thursday’s elections, Sadiq Khan is on course to be the new mayor of London, with his rival Zac Goldsmith trailing a distant second. With Goldsmith’s campaign billed as ‘racist’ and ‘divisive’ by critics, the Tories will now need to work out who is at fault for his disastrous mayoral bid.

However, while Goldsmith could do with all the friends he can get right now, even his own sister is unimpressed with his efforts. As Khan was crowned mayor, Jemima Khan took to Twitter to congratulate the Labour MP:

Congratulations to @sadiqkhan-1st Muslim Mayor of London- a city for all cultures, backgrounds & religions. A great example to young Muslims

She then went on to express her sadness that her brother’s Tory campaign had failed to show him for who he is:

Sad that Zac's campaign did not reflect who I know him to be- an eco friendly, independent- minded politician with integrity.
