The claim

A widely shared social media post said: “The Trafalgar Square Christmas tree, a symbol of Britain’s heritage and Christian faith, has been poorly presented under @MayorofLondon Sadiq Khan’s leadership.”

Rating

The decoration on this year’s tree does not appear to be significantly different from the Christmas trees that stood in Trafalgar Square before Mr Khan became Mayor of London. The Lord Mayor of Westminster and the British ambassador to Norway were present when this year’s tree was felled in Norway, but not Mr Khan.
