Sadiq Khan brands Trump 'racist and Islamophobic' as their clash escalates - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"The US President warned during his speech at the UN Security Council in New York that Khan wants London to "go to sharia law." Khand said on Wednesday, "I think President Trump has shown he is racist, he is sexist, he is misogynistic, and he is Islamophobic. "When people say things, when people act in a certain way, when people behave in a certain way, you've got to believe them.""
"Cabinet minister Pat McFadden said on Wednesday that Trump and Khan have "had a beef for some years." He told Time Radio, "I'm sitting here in Crystal Palace football ground launching a youth club here today and I can assure you it's not Sharia law, it's British law that applies here." Labour MP Rupa Huq said Trump's comments are "poppycock" and "cobblers," adding, "someone should have a word" with Trump as he is "unhinged.""
Sadiq Khan labelled the US President racist, sexist, misogynistic and Islamophobic after the President described him as a "terrible, terrible mayor" and claimed Khan wants London to adopt Sharia law. The US President made the Sharia claim during a UN Security Council speech. Cabinet minister Pat McFadden and other Labour figures rejected the Sharia allegation and defended British law, with McFadden noting long-standing tensions between the two. Labour MP Rupa Huq dismissed the remarks as poppycock and cobblers. Health Secretary Wes Streeting praised Khan's record on inclusion, transport, air quality and safety. A spokesperson for Khan declined to dignify the comments and praised London as safe and welcoming.
