    ISIS' threat to Britain is reaching new high, says London mayor as he warns that police cuts could cost lives
    • Sadiq Khan says terror threat has risen since he became Mayor last year
    • Mayor tells MailOnline that keeping people safe is 'increasingly difficult'
    • Urges government not to cut police funding and criticises Trump's travel ban

    The terror threat from ISIS is reaching new highs and cutting police budgets could cost lives, Sadiq Khan has warned.

    The London Mayor said the danger of attacks in the capital had risen since he entered city hall last May and keeping people safe was becoming 'increasingly difficult'.

    Describing an 'evolving' threat focusing on radicalising young Muslims over the internet, Mr Khan raised fears that Donald Trump's travel ban will hand ISIS a powerful propaganda tool.
    The grim message, delivered in an interview with MailOnline, comes after the latest apparent terror incident at the Louvre in Paris yesterday.

    Mr Khan, who has been embroiled in a growing row with the government over Scotland Yard's budgets, said ministers had effectively stripped hundreds of millions out over recent years.

    And he voiced alarm at plans to shake up how police funding is distributed across the country.

    You cannot help feeling that it is only just a matter of time before we see terror on the streets of London again.

    It must be almost impossible for the security services to stop any lone wolf terrorist for example and as we know that one man with an automatic weapon or homemade bomb can do a lot of damage on the streets of our busy capital.

    No need for weapons and bombs, recent attacks on the Continent have used HGV's.

    Even a Mr Whippy ice cream van could become a lethal weapon in the hands of a hate filled terrorist.
