London Mayor Sadiq Khan has said Donald Trump “appears to have a crush” on him after the US President re-ignited his long-standing feud with the Labour politician, describing him as “grossly incompetent”.

Mr Trump told reporters in the White House’s Oval Office on Wednesday Sir Sadiq was a “bad person” and a “horrible representative” for the UK, adding: “I don’t want to cause any problems, but your Mayor of London is grossly incompetent.”
