Sadiq Khan today ruled himself out of being Britain’s first muslim Prime Minister, insisting he had no ambitions to move to Downing Street.

The London mayor has been tipped as a future Labour leader ever since he won the race for City Hall in 2016.

His winning margin over Tory Zac Goldsmith makes him the politician with the largest personal mandate in the country.

Mr Khan has been feted by political leaders during a six day visit to India and Pakistan.
