Keir Starmer is facing a backbench revolt over Donald Trump's planned state visit to the UK later this year.
More than a dozen Labour MPs have backed a motion saying the UK president should be barred from addressing parliament when he visits Britain.
They argue that it would be 'inappropriate' for him to speak to politicians because of his record of 'misogynism, racism and xenophobia', as well as his comments about Britain and stance on Ukraine.
It comes amid widespread anger at Trump's latest attack on Volodymyr Zelensky after he rejected the terms of a Ukraine peace deal that gave major concessions to Putin.
He has also slapped damaging tariffs on UK exports to the United States, including high-end cars, with ministers currently trying to do a trade deal to remove them.
The US president is due in the UK in the autumn for an unprecedented second state visit that will see him meet King Charles, after he met Elizabeth II during his first term in the White House.
Some 16 MPs have signed the early day motion (EDM) tabled by Jarrow MP Kate Osborne, include former Labour frontbenchers Diane Abbott and Clive Lewis.
Several independent MPs who were formerly in the party including ex-shadow chancellor John McDonnell have also backed it.
Mr Trump revealed over the weekend that his 'friend' King Charles is looking at setting a date in September for his the visit.
However, an effort has emerged to stop him being granted the honour of speaking at Parliament. Barack Obama did so in 2011, although Joe Biden did not more recently.
Mr Trump was previously controversially barred from making a speech at Westminster by former Speaker John Bercow. Mr Bercow said in 2017 that it was 'an earned honour', not an 'automatic right'.

Nuke it from orbit.
Petulant childishness appears to be the only thing the Left is capable of.
England is shot. Overrun by Muslims.
Beat the redcoats 250 years ago!
The UK NEEDS Trump’s goodwill.
This Republic needs NOTHING from some islands who have LOST all ties to a once more glorious and prosperous past.
What was once an Empire has no clothes.
Trump may be the one to tell them so just as he told the little fella he had no cards.
Send JD Vance instead.
Because ‘hitlerish’......? Hey brits in opposition...🖕
“Misogynism, racism, xenophobia…”
They’re describing themselves. Bunch of fascists. (They were fine with Hitler - his thing about the Jews was just a “little aberration” - until he signed a pact with Russia.)
TDS has infected the lefties in the UK.
Let the wing nuts fall on their own swords.
Bog Shave de King !
Trump should bring a small container of sand, with a small plastic hammer, and encourage the Brits who have their undies in a knot to go pound sand.
Britain colluded with the Democrat Party to influence our elections. No more of that nonsense will be tolerated.
Wow!! A whole dozen out of 650 members of Parliament?
Trump will distract these MPs from performing fellatio on their Muslim overlords.
No wonder they’re angry...
The United States has always had trouble with Islamic terror states. Britain now is high up on that list.
The Brits - doormats for the Musloids.
The British government has far too long interfered with the United States, especially aligning with other globalists and Democrats in recent elections.
Trump should skip going to the UK entirely. England is gone.
“Britain colluded with the Democrat Party to influence our elections.”
One of the myths of modern times is that the Euros are our allies. The USA bailed them out of two world wars and the Cold War and they’ve been protected by the USA military ever since and it earned the USA no love or respect. The history of European politics is one of treachery.
They have all of the ingratitude of welfare recipients and an air of superiority over those American “cowboys”. However those American cowboys didn’t murder each other to the tune of 100 million deaths as the Euros did in the 20th century.
You can see why this bunch might be mad. Trump is likely to say crazy stuff like freedom of speech is important and uncontrolled illegal alien invasion must be stopped. Can’t have that sort of lunacy in Parliament.
