Thornberry: MPs must stand up to Trump

WESTMINSTER must stand up to US President Donald Trump and tell him he is wrong on UN funding cuts, climate change and refugees, shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry toldSenate House MPs today.

Speaking at the start of Labour’s opposition day debate in the Commons on refugees and human rights, she said he was “simply unfit to govern.”

She argued that Britain must not just “wring our hands about the suffering of the Rohingya or the Yemeni people or the Palestinian refugees” but to “take the global lead and to end that suffering.”
