More than 10,000 emails have been sent to London mayor Sadiq Khan urging him to cancel Harry Potter-themed Christmas lights planned for Oxford Street. Campaigners backed by the Good Law Project say the display promotes author JK Rowling's gender-critical views. City Hall says the mayor does not control the lights, and the New West End Company says the display will still go ahead as planned.
