* FTSE 100 down 0.5%, FTSE 250 down 0.4%

* Calls for impeachment inquiry into Trump unnerves markets

* Lingering Brexit worries weigh on domestic stocks

Sept 25 (Reuters) - London's FTSE 100 fell in tandem with

global market peers on Wednesday, as investors feared that a

call by U.S. lawmakers for an impeachment inquiry into President

Donald Trump would pile on more uncertainty to the global

economy.

Trump's latest harsh comments on Beijing's trade practices

also dented sentiment around Sino-U.S. proposed talks and

broadly hurt blue-chip financial stocks, as well as oil majors

RDSa.L BP.L and miners, pushing the main index .FTSE down

0.5%.

The FTSE 250 .FTMC shed 0.4% by 0707 GMT as more investors

focused on the future course of Brexit, with the House of

Commons set to reconvene after the Supreme Court ruled on

Tuesday Prime Minister Boris Johnson had suspended parliament

unlawfully.
