Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn tweeted shortly after the speech: "Well said John Bercow. We must stand up for our country's values. Trump's State Visit should not go ahead."
Corbyn's Labour colleague Harriet Harman tweeted saying it was a "proud moment" for the House of Commons. In a statement, Liberal Democrat party leader leader Tim Farron said: "Trump should be under no illusion. We are snubbing him."
Farron actually said:
"Speaking within Parliament is a rare honour, the highest honour we can offer. In the past we have hosted speeches from leaders in equality, justice and human rights from Mandela to Obama to Aung San Suu Kyi. Trump is not fit to shine their shoes.
Obama? LOL!
Just ignore them - have a nice visit with the Queen Mum and do some touring/shopping then get out without acknowledging that the Parliament exists. If someone asks, mention the childish, pettiness of the twerp.
Who needs who, here?
Go to hell, limeys.
I’d ignore it, myself. “Snubbing” only works if the target gives a rat’s ass what the snubber thinks.
Tinkerbells. They’re just angry that a man is now in charge. Brexit happened against their will, and Trump too.
More fascist leftists.
Why was this post (which has been the number one news item trending thing on Twitter today) removed not only from Breaking News but from News period? Our strongest ally told us that our President will not be permitted to speak at Parliament and that’s not even considered news?! Yet in Breaking News there is news about the Kremlin wanting an apology from O’Reilly. I have no problem with that being in Breaking News, but why does that stay and news about how our strongest ally is treating our President not?
Cancel the trip. Immediately
My dad helped supervise manufacture of supplies for you starting with Lend-Lease and my Italian-American uncles fought for your welfare as well, you would have gotten shellacked without the US lifeline.
Does anyone really think President Trump will care?
Mandela was a Communist who was welcomed by terrorist funding leaders including Arafat, Gaddafi, and Castro.
Screw these bastards.
