Pressure grows to stop Trump's state visit
MPs across House show fury at US leader's public support for the far right
THERESA MAY should be true to her word and cancel Donald Trump’s invitation for a state visit, having declared that peddlers of hate should be banned from Britain, MPs said yesterday.
Labour’s Paul Flynn was one of many who suggested that the US president be charged with inciting racial hatred on arrival to Britain after he retweeted a series of posts by far-right activist Jayda Fransen.
Widespread condemnation both in and out of Parliament has followed Mr Trump’s sharing of anti-Muslim videos posted by Ms Fransen, deputy leader of Britain First.
