London’s leftist Mayor Sadiq Khan has warned that fascism will rise again as Trump returns to power
Mayor Sadiq Khan claims that the “spectre of a resurgent fascism” threatens to destroy democracy with the rise of right-wing populism in Europe and in the US with Donald Trump back in the White House.
InfoWars reports: In an op-ed for The Observer published Saturday, Khan compared the growing worldwide discontent with left-wing politicians and policies with the rise of fascism of the “1920s and 1930s.”
“The far right is on the march,” Khan exclaimed. “From Switzerland and Sweden to Hungary, Austria and Italy, European nations are coming under the influence of extreme nativist parties that are hostile to democratic institutions, immigrant populations and fact-based journalism.”
The far-right are sowing fear and division across the globe.

Progressives must act by tackling online hate, challenging extremist rhetoric, and proving democracy can deliver for all.

“In Germany, the AfD is on course for a breakthrough in next month’s federal elections. In France, the National Rally is topping presidential polls. And, of course, in the US, Donald Trump is back,” he lamented.
Khan then pulled the race card, claiming the rise of right-wing populism is “deeply worrying…especially if you’re a member of a minority community.”
“We should be in no doubt, this is a perilous moment. The spectre of a resurgent fascism haunts the West,” Khan declared.
The mayor, who President-elect Donald Trump has called a “stone-cold loser” for failing to address record knife attacks in London, went on to call upon globalist leaders “to inoculate our societies against the virus of far-right populism. History shows us the time to act is now.”
Khan railed against free flow of information on social media thanks to X, claiming it’s “fueling racist populism and polarization.”
He also criticized Elon Musk for using X as a “propaganda tool to amplify lies and advance the cause of the far right” and called for more censorship via the UK’s “Online Safety Act.”
This comes a week after former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton accidentally confessed that the EU stole the Romanian election and threatened to do the same in Germany if the AfD came to power.
Romania’s Constitutional Court earlier this month annulled the results of its election after right-wing nationalist candidate Călin Georgescu won the presidential run-off.
