| We note reports that Donald Trump may visit Britain in the next fortnight and the lack of official announcements on the status of his proposed state visit. Donald Trump’s presidency has been marked by a rise in the politics of racism, Islamophobia, antisemitism, misogyny, homophobia, war mongering, climate change denial and attacks on human and workers’ rights. These politics, and the policies that flow from them that will deepen poverty and inequality, should not be rewarded by our government welcoming Donald Trump.
