London mayor hits out at Nigel Farage at black culture festival

Sadiq Khan has hit out at Nigel Farage who described his new festival of black culture in Trafalgar Square as “horribly divisive”.

In response to critical comments by the GB News presenter about the Black on the Square festival, the London mayor said: “Listen, if Nigel Farage thinks it’s a bad idea, by definition it must be a good thing.”

The event, which is the first of its kind, saw hundreds of people enjoy black culture, food, and creativity in central London on Saturday.
