Mass protests planned in London and Windsor for Trump’s state visit: Nick Dearden in The Independent
Nick Dearden, director of Global Justice Now which is part of the coalition, accused Mr Trump of being a bully and suggested there was a growing global resistance against him.
“Trump is engaged in economic warfare against both friend and foe,” he said.
“He’s bullying countries, including the UK, to give in to the demands of American multinational corporations.
“And he’s taking his own country down an increasingly fascist path – crushing the rights of Americans, ignoring the courts, threatening the media and universities.”
Mr Dearden added: “Why on earth would we want to accord this man a second state visit? 78% of Britons have a negative view of Trump, and with good reason.
“If Starmer won’t stand up to Trump, we will – by taking to the streets as part of the growing global resistance against Trump and the oligarchs that surround him.”
