'We must stop Trump from addressing UK Parliament'

MPS and peers have called for Donald Trump to be blocked from addressing Parliament when he visits the UK.

The US president has suggested Buckingham Palace is “setting a date for September” for him to stay in Britain. But some parliamentarians have voiced concerns that it would be inappropriate for him to speak in the Palace of Westminster, as his predecessors Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton did.

A message, first reported in The Times, and sent to Lord McFall of Alcluith, the Lord Speaker, said: “If it is suggested that he be invited to address both Houses of Parliament, I hope that you and Lindsay will suggest that would be inappropriate on this occasion because of his attitude towards and comments about the UK, parliamentary democracy, the Nato alliance and Ukraine.”
