The speaker of the British Parliament, John Bercow, and the leader of the Labour opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, have both refused an invitation to attend a banquet due to be held in honour of Donald Trump’s state visit to the UK in June. A statement by Mr Bercow’s spokeswoman said that, “Mr speaker has been invited to the banquet, but he will not be attending.” The statement did not go on to elaborate a reason for the decision to decline. Mr Corbyn’s statement however, was less veiled in ambiguity: “Theresa May should not be rolling out the red carpet for a state visit to honour a President who rips up vital international treaties, backs climate change denial and uses racist and misogynist rhetoric.” It is expected that Mr Bercow will face the wrath of his Conservative party colleagues over the decision, who as the government are tasked with helping to organise the event. Yet, this is not the first time that Mr Bercow has made public his obvious disdain for President Trump. In 2017 the speaker said that he was “strongly opposed” to giving the US commander-in-chief the opportunity to address the British parliament in a speech in Westminster citing his position on immigration from particular Muslim countries as one reason. #JohnBercow is refusing to issue an invitation to @realDonaldTrump to address the UK Parliament this summer.#Trump doesn’t deserve, citing ‘opposition to racism & sexism’. pic.twitter.com/nMRkJM2TFP… Read full this story
