Keir Starmer is facing demands from Labour MPs to reprimand Donald Trump’s administration after the US president falsely claimed London wanted to “go to sharia law” under its “terrible mayor”, Sadiq Khan.
In an address to the UN general assembly, Trump said: “I look at London, where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible mayor, and it’s been changed, it’s been so changed. Now they want to go to sharia law. But you are in a different country, you can’t do that.”
The development will cause further discomfort in No 10 after Trump was last week honoured with an unprecedented second state visit to the UK. Starmer has repeatedly cited the ability to avoid the worst of US tariffs as a reason for his largely conciliatory approach to Trump.
Rosena Allin-Khan, the MP for Tooting, said Warren Stephens, the US ambassador to the UK and an ally of Trump, should be called to account for the president’s remarks.
“The US ambassador should be summoned and challenged over Trump’s rampant Islamophobia,” she wrote on X. “Trump continually spreads lies. In London, we celebrate our diversity and reject racists and bigots. London is the greatest city in the world in huge part due to Sadiq Khan’s leadership.”
A spokesperson for Khan said: “We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response. London is the greatest city in the world, safer than major US cities and we’re delighted to welcome the record number of US citizens moving here.”

So-called “Sharia Law” is utterly unjust and unconstitutional and has NO PLACE in the U.S.
Ha! I wish Trump would do what he said as candidate Trump and kick out the millions of illegals, which is the only thing that can save us from drowning but that being said, this is some funny sh&@. Trump made me laugh. Good for him.
The left trades in lies, so what do their protests really say?
Now kick the UN out of the US. Give them until the end of the year to gtfo.
What is this mayors position on sharia law then? Curious.
That’s an old Goldwater slogan. From the 60s?
What doesn’t outrage anyone with TDS? It never ends.
“kick out”
Does this phrase have a corresponding imagery in your mind, imagery describing a particular process including logistics and methods?
Or is it more like the infantile “are we there yet” which doesn’t?
You will get the “councils” or “tribunals” sooner or later
Trump was right, again.
Trump is working on it! He’s already removed or inspired to self-deport 2 million illegal aliens. He has 14 million to go, unfortunately, but it’s a huge start. I expect that as of the end of next year, there will be fewer illegal aliens than at any time since 2004.
Let’s hope Trump has a plan to separate Labour and true working-class politicians still identifying with Labour (are there any?) from the globalists and Islamists.
excellent — Islam is a war plan
“London is one of the safest cities” under the same rules as other Muslim capitals - as long as infidels shut up and submit. Peace and safety are defined as absence of resistance to Islam
Many traditional working class will vote for Farage
They have no clue what’s happening. Labor are on borrowed time
Catch up dude, he is and doing his best. You can’t arrest or make 20 million people leave overnight.
So they aren’t denying that it’s sharia.
GIVE THEM UNTIL THE END OF OCT.
Keep them here. But confine them to the grounds. Build a luxurious military style prison/hotel they can stay in so we can monitor all information going in and out from them. Then act on the information we get. Don’t let them know where we got it the info. They’ll figure it out and leave forever or shut up
Squeeze out all information from their sorry tyrannical governments.
