The MP for North Antrim has apologised for retweeting a comment from Katie Hopkins.
The tweet read - "March 2018. London has a higher murder rate than New York... and Ramadan's not yet begun."
Ian Paisley has since deleted the comment from his Twitter account, and tweeted an apology last night saying no harm was intended.
Mea culpa earlier today I glanced at a tweet & rt about # of murders in London. Didn't take cognisance of Ramadan ref. Once brought to my attention immediately deleted. Apologise profusely for offence caused. https://t.co/MGneSXHuMF
