Loose Women's Carol tells London Mayor Sadiq Khan to 'shut up' in vicious sweary rant

Carol McGiffin told London Mayor Sadiq Khan to "shut up" today in an expletive-filled rant.

The Loose Women star, 62, was responding to a tweet in which Mr Khan, 52, complained about BP's "unacceptable" tax break.

Sharing the breaking news about the energy company, he said: "While Londoners freeze, BP makes billions.

"It’s unacceptable that BP gets tax breaks for investing in fossil fuels while Londoners’ energy bills are through the roof. We urgently need an effective windfall tax so the Government can use the money to keep energy bills down and fund a retrofit revolution across the country."

However Carol wasn't having any of it.

She swiftly responded to the tweet saying: "Shut. Up. You are ensuring that Londoners won’t be able to afford to go to work with your fraudulent ULEZ bulls**t. You’re worse than BP for profiteering so p** off."

ULEZ is the Ultra Low Emission Zone area in London in which people are charged a fee for driving the most polluting vehicles.

Mr Khan is now expanding the ULEZ area including the rest of the city outside of central London, which will come into force on 29 August 2023.

Carol is not one to hold back when it comes to politics and recently locked horns with her Loose Women pals over the topic of Shamina Begum.

The Londoner left the capital in 2015 to join Islamic State group in Syria and has since been banned from returning to the UK.

Shamina now has her own podcast, but Carol insisted she didn't want to hear what she had to say.

Addressing the topic on Loose Women, Carol said: "I think the majority of people -" before Charlene White, interjected with: "Should we not know..."

"No no no, why her?" Carol fumed as she shouted over her colleagues before Nadia Sawalha, said:"Because she has an incredible amount of information. If we want to stop..."

Carol quickly retorted: "What are you doing? Sitting here making excuses for her? I'm sorry, the decision has been made. She's not here and she's not allowed to come back. I don't want to hear what she's got to say."
