London Mayor calls for 'closer alignment' with the EU

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has defended Sir Keir Starmer over his recent comments on the EU.

It comes after the Labour leader told a conference in Canada that "we don't want to diverge from EU rules".

The Labour Mayor told Sky News: "He said: "I think Keir Starmer is right to say, look, the current deal we have with the European Union has got big problems in it. Some characterise it - I would - as an extreme, hard Brexit deal."

He said it's "right" that Sir Keir would seek to "look into having a better deal".
