Donald Trump will not be allowed to address Parliament on UK state visit, Speaker says

‘Donald Trump will be blocked from addressing Parliament on his state visit to the UK, the Speaker of the House of Commons has said.
John Bercow, the Speaker, said he was “strongly opposed” to Mr Trump speaking in the Commons and that being invited was “not an automatic right” but “an earned honour”.
