What is the Sadiq Khan blimp?

The crowdfunding page was set up after the London Mayor’s decision to allow anti-Trump demonstrators to fly a giant balloon of the President in a nappy during his visit in July.

The giant balloon shows the London Mayor wearing a yellow bikini in a nod to the 'Beach Body Ready' advert he banned last year.

Khan and Trump have repeatedly clashed in public.

The President has accused Khan of being soft on crime and terrorism - while the Mayor says Trump shouldn't be offered a state visit to Britain because of his anti-Muslim rhetoric.

How big is it?

Thousands of donors raised £58,182 for the 20ft balloon - nearly twice the £34,923 donated for the Trump version last month.

A fundraising page for the baby read: "In light of the Donald Trump 'Baby Trump' ballon being allowed to fly over London during his visit to the U.K., let's get a 'baby Khan' one and see if FREE SPEECH applies to all and whether or not Mr Khan and the London assembly will also approve this.

"Under Sadiq Khan, we have seen crime sky rocket to unprecedented levels. People in London don't feel safe and they aren't safe, 81 murders this year alone! Khan Out.

"Any surplus money raised will be used for a continuing campaign to remove Sadiq Khan from office and also for defending free speech which is constantly under attack.

"Of course transparency of all money will be available."

When did it fly over London?

The giant balloon was launched over Parliament Square in central London.

There were cheers and shouts of "higher, higher, higher" as the balloon was raised up into the sky.

It went up just over a month after Trump’s visit saw a similar stunt depicting the President.

That blimp was widely mocked on social media for being lacklustre.
