Jeremy Corbyn: Stop Trump visit to UK until Muslim ban lifted

UK labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn said that US President Donald Trump should be prevented from making a planned state visit to the UK as long as his "Muslim ban" policy remains,

Speaking to Peston on Sunday, Corbyn said it was "odd" that Trump had been invited so quickly to come to the UK considering his comments and actions.

"I suspect this visit is something that might find its way into the long grass," he said.

"I think we need to find out exactly what his intentions are an how much the US parliamentary system is actually going to protect fundamental rights and freedoms and laws.

"Is it really right to endorse somebody who has used this awful misogynist language throughout the election campaign, awful attacks on Muslims and then this absurd idea of building a wall with their nearest neighbour?"
