Throughout his London mayoral bid, Sadiq Khan has been at pains to distance himself from Jeremy Corbyn. Although Khan was one of the 35 MPs to help get Corbyn onto the ballot paper, he has since gone on to declare that if elected mayor, he will not be ‘Corbyn’s representative in London’. His comments have led his mayoral rival George Galloway to accuse Khan of ‘stabbing Jeremy Corbyn in the back’.
Happily, Corbyn’s team still seem happy to support Khan’s mayoral bid despite. With less than a week to polling day, Khan’s official campaign Twitter account has shared a photo of their bustling phone bank in action:

While the photos show Labour’s Stephen Pound helping out, it’s another volunteer that caught Mr S’s eye. On closer inspection, one of the photos shows Corbyn’s disgraced aide Andrew Fisher on the phone. Fisher
