No, we should have Trump, then through our protest let him and the worlds press see exactly what we think of him. THEN, we should immediately invite President Zelensky. The difference in reception would be impossible to ignore.
He's also been invited to address Parliament. Let's hope MPs are needed elsewhere that day, but if the Tories or Govt whip them into going they should turn their backs on him and stand in silent protest.
There'll be more than enough of us outside in Parliament Square to give him a hearty welcome.
Now that is a fabulous idea. And then he should do a road trip to each country supporting Ukraine in Europe. Then the lines are clearly drawn. Trump, Kim Jong, Putin on one side. Europe and (now this is hard to say) UK in the middle. If the state visit goes ahead we can all read the room.
Not a state visit. A mass, spontaneous appreciation of the man would be much more powerful. After all Trump isn’t the kind of person who would take that sort of thing personally.
I’m not a royalist, but if there is to be a State Visit invite them both at the same time and thank Zelensky for being the front line in the war to protect Europe & the Western world and our values.
We need the US to be part of the solution, not on Russia’s side.
That would be good, but really, we need to be encouraging Labour to go all in to provide Ukraine with everything it needs, even if that means taxes going up.
It dismays me that so few people seem to be able to admit that Russia has considered itself to be at war with us for years and acts accordingly. It may not be bombing our cities but we are certainly under attack.
Maybe Zelenskyy could just casually turn up while Trump's having tea & scones with the King, and be introduced as a friend who's staying over while he has meetings with Starmer

For Trump people should turn up in their thousands and just turn their backs.
