Bercow's speech was met with a round of applause from MPs in the Commons, which in usual circumstances is banned practice. Veteran Labour MP Dennis Skinner stood up to say "well done" to the House speaker.
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!

I don’t know who Aung San Suu Kyi is, but Mandela and Obama are scoundrels.

Didn’t realize they sucked up this much to the American socialists. I probably should have.

Not surprised either. I wonder if this John Bercow has some skeletons in his closet that the ruling elite know about. AND if there is anything to know, they do know.

Fine. Expel the British ambassador, withdraw from whatever trade talks are ongoing and begin withdrawing troops and tanks from Poland and the Baltics.

Well how about just skipping this visit entirely?
To: Pinkbell
Perhaps cancel the trip. They are now Londonistan. Sadly insane self destruction of countries by the left and Islam.

Why bother even going when they openly applaud and support a snub of him? You know what they say about pay back....

the parliamentarian speaks this rubbish WHILE HIS OWN COUNTRY IS SOLD OUT TO THE ISLAMONAZI INVASION with big parts of some UK major cities and university campuses almost off limits to normal Brits
Londonistan is sick and so is much of USA (just that we’re bigger so have a little bit more time buffer to deport, repatriate, return the Islamics that Obama snuck into our communities)
