Diane Abbott says Donald Trump is criticising Sadiq Khan because he is Muslim

'In 30 years in Parliament, I've never heard a president of the US reference a London mayor at all'.

Hawzah News Agency (London, UK) - Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott accused US President Donald Trump of targeting London Mayor Sadiq Khan due to his faith during a debate in the House of Commons on Monday.

Speaking on violent crime after a spate of stabbings and a shooting in London, Ms Abbott raised the issue of Mr Trump’s fiery interventions via his now infamous Twitter account where he took the unusual step for a US President of criticising the Labour Mayor directly.

She said: “In relation to the president of the United States implying that the mayor of London is responsible for the rise in violent crime, the mayor must be held to account like any other politician.”

She said: “In relation to the president of the United States implying that the mayor of London is responsible for the rise in violent crime, the mayor must be held to account like any other politician.”“But in 30 years in Parliament, I’ve never heard a president of the US reference a London mayor at all. It’s hard to escape the conclusion that President Trump may be singling out Sadiq Khan because he is of the Muslim faith.

“Does the Minister accept that if that were true, many people would find it distasteful?”.

End.
