I have a certain pride in London, in the UK, my mother was born in Scotland, and when I see Mayor Khan do a bad job - the stabbings, the dirt and the filth - it's not the same.""
"President Donald Trump and his coterie have perhaps done the most to fan the flames of divisive, far-right politics around the world in recent years. And in a fresh attack Sir Sadiq on Wednesday he repeated his claim the President had fanned the flames of the far-right on social media adding: And now a toxic form of politics is spilling out onto our streets.

Trump cited pride in London and the UK, mentioning his Scottish roots, and criticised stabbings, dirt and filth under Khan's leadership. Sadiq Khan launched attacks on Trump, accusing him and his circle of fanning divisive far-right politics and warning that toxic politics are spilling onto the streets. The two have a long-running feud dating to Trump's first term over the proposed Muslim ban.
