Sadiq Khan has prompted fury from Brexit-supporters after lighting up the London Eye in the colours of the EU flag during last night’s New Year fireworks display. — (((Dominic Farrell))) (@DominicFarrell) January 1, 2019Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said the sold-out display would show Europe that the capital will remain “open-minded” and “outward looking” post-Brexit. London fireworks should have been a celebration of the U.K. - our anthem, our flag and our spirit. Instead Sadiq Khan hijacked it to be political about EU. With so few inspiring figures left in British political life, thank goodness for Sadiq Khan, celebrating what is best about this great city and blazoning it in light amid the darkness.
