“Theresa May is backing Trump’s toxic politics.
“It is wrong to give him a state visit.
“This is a chance to take a stand against right wing ideas on both sides of the Atlantic.”
The controversial US president is currently in the UK on a three day state visit.
On Monday he met with The Queen and other members of the Royal family.
A protest against the US president in January 2017, also in Dalton Square, attracted around 150 people.
