The Speaker was often a thorn in Cameron's side. But this is huge slap down for Theresa May. https://t.co/WB9NP9nv78

Speaker: "As far as this place is concerned I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism and sexism" ..means he shd not be invited

Does President Trump really have the temperament not to respond to this intervention for the Speaker of the House of Commons? I think not, keep your eyes of Trump’s twitter account.
Blimey, this sounds like good news for those of betting on Trump not visiting the UK in 2017. If I were you Mr President, I wouldn’t stand for this insult. I guess Theresa May is going to be very annoyed at Speaker Bercow, and Her Majesty might also find herself in an invidious position.
This is the latest betting from William Hill on whether the State Visit will happen or not. If I was betting afresh, I’d take the 9/4.
