“Today you have people who are stabbings in the ass or worse. Your mayor is a disaster, he is a bad person.”
President Trump Continued: “He’s letting crime go. You have areas in London and Paris where the police don’t even want to go anywhere near those areas.”
Asked about those comments by LBC’s Nick Ferrari on Friday, Sir Mark said: “There’s no no-go zone, that’s completely wrong. How anyone in America could suggest Britain is violent, that’s completely ridiculous.”
“The murder rate in London is lower than every American state. It’s lower than all their big cities combined. I think the murder rate in New York last time I looked was about three or four times higher per capita than it was in London.”
Figures from the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime, which compare the 12 months ending in August with the previous 12 months, show there were 8,749 fewer crimes which resulted in someone being hurt – a fall of almost 12 per cent. throughout the capital at that time,

a spokesperson for Prime Minister Described the comments as “wrong” – 24 hours after Number 10 failed to defend the mayor.
On Tuesday, Downing Street would only say that the prime minister has a “strong” relationship with both men.
But a day later, the Prime Minister’s press secretary told reporters: “Those comments are wrong. The Mayor of London is doing excellent work in London, delivering free school meals in primary schools, cleaning up London’s air with the world’s largest clean air sector and opening a record number of council houses.”
“The Prime Minister is extremely proud of the Mayor of London’s record and is proud to call him his colleague and friend.”
