Donald Trump’s rambling speech at the UN was just the latest in a long line of abuse Sadiq has dealt with.

Sadiq Khan has spoken out about Donald Trump after the pair clashed over the US President’s ‘bigoted comments’ at the UN General Assembly.

During his speech at the UN headquarters in New York City yesterday, Trump falsely claimed that Sir Sadiq wants to institute Sharia law in London.

‘I look at London, where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible mayor, and it’s been so changed,’ Trump said. ‘Now they want to go to Sharia law but you’re in a different country, you can’t do that.’

In response yesterday, a spokesperson for Sir Sadiq said he was ‘not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response’.

However, during a launch of London’s new route on the Bakerloop (BL1), an electric bus service connecting communities from Waterloo to Lewisham, this morning, Metro asked what the Mayor’s thoughts were on Trump’s comments.

He said: ‘People will be wondering what it is about this Muslim mayor who leads a liberal, multicultural, successful, diverse city. It seems to me that I’m living rent free inside Donald Trump’s head.’

When asked why Trump seems obsessed with him, the London mayor said: ‘I think he’s got a crush on me.

‘It’s either that or he believes in giving me squatters rights inside his head.’

Metro has contacted the White House for comment.

During the morning rounds earlier today, Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden backed Sir Sadiq, stating that the president’s attack was based on ‘a beef’ he has had with the Mayor for years.

He told BBC Breakfast: ‘As regards the United Kingdom, on the comments on London, look, I just think it’s a misreading of our great capital city.

‘This is a big asset to the United Kingdom. It’s known all over the world, it’s a big engine of our economy, of creativity.’

Speaking to GB News from Crystal Palace’s stadium in south London, he said: ‘We have British law here at Selhurst Park this morning, no other kind of law, and that’s what applies in our capital city and throughout our country.’
