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.
