Labour’s persistent failure to address its electorate’s salient concerns is behind the protest vote, asserts DIANE ABBOTT
There's only one response should Trump visit Britain
		We have to get on the streets and oppose the US president's attempts to whip up race hatred, says SABBY DHALU
	
			FOR anyone on the receiving end of the enormous rise in hate crime over the last 18 months, the question of whether Donald Trump visits Britain is not an abstract debate.
At a time when the most high-profile politician in the world is flagrantly promoting racist lies to whip up anti-Muslim hatred, the prospect of his visit poses the clear danger of a further spike in violent persecution and harassment.
Whether it is the full state visit British and US government sources insist will take place “at some stage,” or a “working visit” to open the US embassy in February as recently reported, there can be no doubt that Trump will use the opportunity to spread hatred and division in person as well as on his Twitter profile.
