The BBC This Week host took a side-splitting pop at London Mayor Sadiq Khan jokingly announcing US Ambassador Woody Johnson would fly a Khan balloon over the Embassy.
The Greater London Authority (GLA) last week announced Mr Khan had authorised protestors to fly a 6 feet ‘angry baby Trump” balloon over Parliament Square during US President Donald Trump’s working visit to the UK.
Mr Neil said: “Welcome to This Week, live from Westminster and dead from the neck up, where news reaches us that in retaliation for the Mayor of London allowing a giant Trump baby blimp in a nappy to be floated over London, the Americans have decided to float an even bigger blimp of Sadiq Khan over the US Embassy.
“‘He’ll be wearing a stab vest,’ said the US Ambassador because even at 200 feet in the air, this has become a very dangerous city under his watch.”
Mr Khan and President Trump have repeatedly locked horns after the US leader condemned the Mayor over records showing an increase in violent crime on the streets of London.
There have been 1,296 stabbings in London since the beginning of 2018, 51 fatal.
In an interview before his arrival in the UK, the US President again attacked Mr Khan saying he has “done a very bad job on terrorism.”
Mr Trump said: “You have a mayor who has done a terrible job in London. He has done a terrible job.
“Take a look at the terrorism that he is taking place. Look at what is going on in London.”
