Anti-terror police told the London Mayor there had been a shift in the threat over the last year, but officers claim there has not been a rise in the number of terror plots. Speaking at the Labour party conference, Mr Khan said: “The phrase used by police experts, counter-terror experts, in relation to terrorism is what we're seeing is not a spike but a shift. "And the reason why they say that is because if you look at the time when Fusilier Lee Rigby was murdered in 2013 up until the Westminster Bridge attack this year, there were 13 terrorist attacks thwarted because of the excellent work of the police and security services.

"If you look at the time between March of this year and now, yes there have been four terrorist attacks (in London) but there have been seven that have been thwarted." The UK has been hit by five terror attacks in 2017, including the horror unleashed by Salman Abedi at Manchester Arena and the cruel attack on worshippers at Finsbury Park Mosque in June. The Mayor of London also used the party conference fringe event to launch fresh attacks on Donald Trump.

Mr Khan has repeatedly criticised the US President over his travel ban, and has now claimed it is his job to "educate" Trump on his "ignorant" views. He said: "Some of his views are ignorant and I think sometimes people are ignorant, and one of your jobs is to educate people.” "And I am happy to educate Donald Trump."
