While I don’t know whether this “represents London”, I will say that the interview itself is pretty funny. I didn’t realise Khan had decent comedic timing
How could he say that about beans? Bang out of order.
100% agree
*incoming irrational Sadiq hate and islamophobic comments*
He’s gonna get a load of shit for this, but I like the fella!
He’s obviously discussing Crosse and Blackwell beans though, not Heinz.
Haricot beans are a New World crop, from the Americas. The most famous manufacturer of baked beans, Heinz, is an American company.
Yet baked beans are seemingly the only thing Americans know about Britain
considering New York has only just discovered bins and oyster cards I think we might be winning on that alone
Good Baked Beans are GREAT!! He MUST have had some of the Absolutely Shite Cheap Ones
Unlike some other candidates sabotaging London by constantly attacking us and while living outside London or even Dubai
*That’s not an American accent…* Oh.
Get mans a tin of Branston see what he’s saying
This was cute. I’d love to see the same nyc vs London banter with Mamdani vs Khan to see who gets in the better jabs – like a lighter, no consequence version of the the Trump/Starmer meetups
Everything shuts at 11, London night life is dead
Sadiqqqqq my man
How do the arts offerings in London compare to LA? Between the West End, countless museums and galleries, the music scene, comedy clubs etc. I’m surprised London isn’t considered the cultural capital of the world.
As a Mancunian living in London, when Khan says that London has finance, tech, culture etc. He’s not wrong and I think the rest of the UK is being deprived of having those things causing a braindrain around the nation, due to young people having to move to London to find careers in those areas.
(Like I did for the film and TV world.)

But outta love ❤️
Look, I love London. I honestly think people from elsewhere who slag it off are just jealous hillbillies with no hobbies. But until we become a 24-hour city, we are not the best.

It’s a sad state of affairs when you’re shocked seeing a British politician saying London is the best city in the world.
Makes you realise it shouldn’t be normal to have our political figures constantly shit on our awesome capital
I dunno about Americans associating the UK with beans, but back home (and now living in the UK) us Kiwi’s absolutely smash beans as well
My money is on the Ernest Bevin lunchtime beans as the antagonist to have put him off. Valid, they were fucking rough
“Beans on toast. Beans on…a plate. Beans on everything…”
Irony is Sadiq’s primary argument is what makes the UK bad. Centralisation of everything to London has destroyed this country.
No matter what you think about Sadiq Khan, get your filthy far-right grift spread by the Americans out of our city. We’re one of the best cities in the world, no matter what the bot-driven propaganda is currently being pushed.
