Theresa May swipes at Trump over response to neo-Nazi rally bloodshed as she faces calls from MPs to SCRAP the US president's state visit

(yes I know it's the Mail but I liked the headline )


Theresa May swiped at Donald Trump today over his response to bloodshed at a neo-Nazi rally - as she faced renewed demands to cancel his state visit invite.

The Prime Minister said leaders had a 'responsibility' to condemn the Far Right after he reignited a furious row over his attitude towards white supremacists.

Following days of pressure, including from senior Republicans, Mr Trump finally issued a statement singling out far-right demonstrators for violence in Charlottesville, Virginia on Saturday, that left a woman dead.

But he appeared to revert to his original stance again last night by insisting there was 'blame on both sides' and the protesters included some 'fine people'.
