He added:"By the way, if this means I'm a snowflake, so be it, right? Mental health is fragile if it's not looked after. And I shouldn't be afraid to talk about it."Khan's exasperation at Mayor's Questions
Referring to the threats he has faced, Mr Khan pointed to the attack at the Finsbury Park mosque in 2017."He couldn't find me so he decided to target Jeremy Corbyn and Muslims. "Every time Trump says something horrible about me there's a massive increase in hatred towards me on social media. "Then there are people who follow Daesh and al Qaida who think you can't be a Muslim and a westerner, I get it from both sides in relation to the death threats."He said:"I lost my mojo. I didn't have clarity of thinking. I wasn't so sparky. I wasn't inspiring my team."
