Ministerial praise for Trump ‘galling’ for Labour members

MINISTERS risked further alienating the Labour membership yesterday as they issued “obsequious” praise for newly inaugurated US President Donald Trump.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy, who previously called Mr Trump a “racist and KKK/neonazi sympathiser,” now says he is a “revisionist actor” who merely wants to change the rules of the game.
Mr Lammy also claimed that Mr Trump believed in the US being “strong and powerful” but he was “not a man who, in any sense, is a warmonger.”
