Mr Corbyn said: "Theresa May has invited President Trump to our country at a time when his dangerous and inhumane policies are putting the lives and wellbeing of millions of people at risk.

"We are committed to dialogue, including of course with those we strongly disagree with, and in government we would find a way to work with his administration while also standing up for our values.

"But instead the Tories are rewarding President Trump with a red carpet welcome.

"We must show Trump and the Tories that we can and we will defeat the politics of division."
