  • The new leader of UKIP has said that he often confuses London mayor
    Sadiq Khan with the 7/7 bomber Mohammad Sidique Khan, in a tweet that
    Labour condemned as "unacceptable racism".

    Richard Braine, who replaced Gerard Batten as the leader of the
    anti-immigration party at the weekend, made the remark just seven
    weeks ago.

    On June 27, Braine misspelled the London mayor's name on Twitter as
    "Siddique Khan". After being corrected by another Twitter user, Braine
    replied: "Apologies, I often confuse him with the leader of the 7/7
    bombers."
