Now going to be debated in Parliament on 20th Feb. Meanwhile this fairly restrained but witty article by Grace Dent in Guardian made me smile.no state visit from Trump. watch that counter shoot up.

The Big Orange One is welcome to book in, at his own expense, at the Mandarin Oriental in Hyde Park and have as many dismal little meetings with Prime Minister May over the “special relationship” as they so wish. But allowing him a state visit not merely communicates that Britain admires him, but furthermore suggests that any reported revulsion we have is “fake news” purported by failing news groups.
It’s very hard to refute a picture of Trump holding hands with the Queen. Bring me my banner. If he’s coming, let’s give him a welcome.
