Downing Street announced last week that US President Donald Trump will arrive in London for a three-day visit in June to coincide with the 75th D-Day commemorations.
The Conservative Party is due to call an Emergency General Meeting, unprecedented in its 185-year history, amid the grassroots activists’ revolt over Brexit.
As The Sun revealed yesterday, Theresa May is to face 800 constituency chairmen after a petition from 70 of them demanded her resignation for failing to take Britain out of the EU.
The confrontation, however, will not take place until at least the second week of June, The Sun has also learned, as party bosses from the National Conservative Convention bowed to pleas from the PM’s allies to hold off until after the US President’s first state visit to commemorate D-Day ‘s 75th anniversary, from 3-5 June.
As the UK is set to roll out the red carpet for Donald Trump, the UK Government is looking to scrap plans to invite the US President to address Members of Parliament in historic Westminster Hall during his state visit. This honour was previously bestowed on Barack Obama back in 2011.
The move is reportedly aimed at avoiding a potentially awkward confrontation with House of Commons Speaker John Bercow.
