The cartoon showed laughing Mr Trump in front of Parliament with the pig blimps tethered behind the Palace of Westminster, as Mirror Online reported yesterday. The caption read: “Breaking News: Trump defeats Sadiq Khan in balloon wars.” Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, the Party’s former chairwoman, said Fabricant’s tweet showed the ‘extent of Islamophobia’ in the Tory party. Labour MP Wes Streeting has written to Tory chief whip Julian Smith asking what action would be taken over the “grossly offensive, highly inappropriate and racist” message. And Mr Khan told LBC Radio: “I would … [Read more...] about Tory MP sorry over cartoon of ‘Trump laughing at Sadiq Khan as inflatable pig’
