No second state visit for Trump
This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Whether for or against this is a thoughtful and respectful debate and the new Labour Government should be applauded for bringing a Bill on this subject so early in their Parliament- back to serious politics .
