Jeremy Hunt has vigorously defended Donald Trump for quoting the far-right commentator Katie Hopkins in an attack on the London mayor, Sadiq Khan, as Downing Street declined to condemn the US president’s words.
The foreign secretary said he would not have used the same words as Trump, but that he would “150% agree” with the overall sentiment.
The home secretary, Sajid Javid, said the US president should “stick to domestic politics”.
The Hopkins post referred to the capital as “Khan’s Londonistan”, as well as “stab-city” following the deaths of three men in separate attacks on Friday and Saturday.
