'He is not welcome here': MPs demand Donald Trump is BARRED from visiting the UK (tr)

Ministers face demands to cancel Donald Trump's State Visit today after the US president retweeted videos posted by a far-right UK group.

MPs insisted Mr Trump was 'not welcome here' in the wake of the Twitter posts, while the widow of murdered politician Jo Cox accused him of 'spreading hatred'. The furious backlash came after Mr Trump retweeted content posted by Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of Britain First, which campaigns against the spread of Islam.

Mrs Cox was stabbed and shot outside her constituency offer by a man who shouted 'Britain First'.

The first video purportedly shows a 'Muslim migrant' beating up a Dutch boy on crutches.

Mr Trump also retweeted a video of a Muslim man 'destroy[ing] a statue of Virgin Mary', and another where Fransen wrote, 'Islamist mob pushed teenage boy off roof and beats him to death!'

The provenance of the footage is unknown. Brendan Cox, whose wife Jo was killed during the EU referendum campaign last year, said: 'Trump has legitimised the far right in his own country, now he's trying to do it in ours.

'Spreading hatred has consequences & the President should be ashamed of himself.'

Unfreaking believable! The last time I was in London was 1998. How awful for you. Where the hell were the Bobbies? And no one helped you? WTheck! Unforgivable!!!!

Yet, these British idiots want to keep Trump out while allowing ISIS fighters back into their country. You just can't fix stupid.

I side with you. No pity for them when they are attacked again.
