New York is not the city that Mamdani pretends it is
There is an unhappy history of left-wing Britons getting involved in US elections. Back in 2004, the Guardian the flagship organ of the British left organized a letter-writing campaign, urging voters in the swing state of Ohio not to re-elect George W. Bush. The good people of Ohio didn’t take kindly to a bunch of North Londoners telling them how to vote, and although the Guardian’s campaign probably can’t be given all the credit, the voters of Ohio duly went to the polls and swung firmly behind Bush. One wishes that London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s intervention in this week’s.
