Sadiq Khan has fired shots at Donald Trump accusing him of being the key figure in fanning the flames of “divisive, far-right politics”. The president has previously called Khan a “nasty person” and accused him of doing a “terrible job” with his position as mayor of the capital. On Tuesday night, Khan said: “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”. Writing in The Guardian, Sir Sadiq said: “We must also tell President Trump and his supporters to stop talking down and denigrating our great capital city. London is a global success story, no matter how much he wants to pretend otherwise. It’s open, dynamic and safer than every US state in terms of homicide rates.” Trump touched down at London’s Stansted Airport in Essex last night on Air Force One ahead of his royal reception at Windsor, where anti-Trump protesters are set to take to the streets to make sure he receives a frosty welcome. He will then visit Sir Keir’s countryside residence in Chequers, which is far away from any planned protests. Sir Sadiq said that while he understood the reasons for the UK wanting to maintain a good relationship with the US, Britain should not be afraid of criticising the leader, saying that the ‘special relationship’ between the two countries “includes being open and honest with each other”. He added: “At time, this means being a critical friend and speaking truth to power. This includes being clear that we reject the politics of fear and division.” The British Army’s Red Devils are set to perform a flypast to keep the erratic President entertained. He will also be shown special artefacts from Winston Churchill’s life, which No10 said show the wartime PM’s “close personal affinity” with America. No10 said the leaders will dine on the “British favourite Dover Sole, served with peas and potatoes for the main and the American classic key lime pie for dessert”. Campaigners have branded the visit “shameful” and “humiliating” for the UK – calling the President a ‘toddler’. The Stop Trump Coalition is set to make sure Trump receives a frosty welcome as thousands of protesters are set to take to the streets of Windsor when he arrives with wife Melania this evening. Speaking on ITV ’s Good Morning Britain , a member of the group, Zoe Gardner, branded the visit “shameful and humiliating” for the country. She said UK leaders should not be allowing “this toddler” to use the UK as a “theme park”. Zoe told ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “There is an enormous line between a relationship and diplomacy with the United States, and letting this toddler come here and use our country as a theme park and honouring him with a red carpet and a banquet with the King. There is miles between those two positions, and what we’re doing today is shameful and humiliating for the UK.”
