David Cameron has hailed Labour’s Sadiq Khan as “a proud Muslim” and “a proud Brit” as he shared a platform with the London Mayor at an EU Remain rally.
They were launching a Britain Stronger in Europe battle bus and pledge card.
But Vote Leave said the PM’s criticisms of Mr Khan during the mayoral contest less than a month ago showed he could not be trusted.
Mr Cameron repeatedly attacked Mr Khan for having a history of sharing platforms with extremists – a claim firmly rejected by Mr Khan – as part of the Conservatives’ failed campaign to get Zac Goldsmith elected to City Hall.
At the Remain campaign event in London, Mr Cameron appeared to bury the hatchet.
He shook hands with Mr Khan and congratulated him on his victory in the mayoral contest, telling the crowd: “I’m proud to be here with the mayor of London – with the Labour mayor of London – on this vital, vital issue.”
