mainly Muslim countries sparks protests at several US airports.

It was soon after Theresa May left the White House on Friday that

Donald Trump signed the executive order banning citizens from seven

President Trump's 90-day ban covers Iran, Iraq,

Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Syria, from

where refugees are banned from until further notice.

Donald Trump's executive order also imposes a complete ban

on all refugees coming to the US for the next 120 days.

Mr Trump said that the ban would keep radical Islamic terrorists out

But the ban has sparked protests across the US,

as people affected and already in the air were detained

US laws have begun legal action to challenge the ban, which many

At a press conference in Ankara, Turkey, Theresa May was asked

about the refugee ban three times before giving this response...

Well, the United States is responsible for the United States'

The United Kingdom is responsible for the United Kingdom's policy

on refugees, and our policy on refugees is to have a number

of voluntary schemes to bring Syrian refugees into the country.

Downing Street later issued a statement saying:

This morning, the Treasury Minister, David Gauke, was asked why

Theresa May had refused to condemn the travel ban at yesterday's

The Prime Minister is not a shoot-from-the-hip

She wants to see the evidence, she wants

to understand precisely what the implications are.

She'd been in a series of very lengthy meetings with

President Erdogan, and she's someone who wants to see the briefing and

understand it, and then will respond to that.

I think there are times where, you know, there's always

pressure to respond within a news cycle and so on.

The important thing is, we are saying we disagree with it

We're joined now from North London by the Conservative

Should the Government in general and Theresa May in particular be more

vocal in their criticism of Donald Trump's travel bans? Well, as David

just said, it is obviously right that Theresa has now said this is an

appropriate and not something we agree with in our Government, but I

wish she had said something at the time, not least because it affects

our own citizens. One of our own MPs, Nadhim, for example, because it

is also a global crisis. She had clearly built an excellent with

Donald Trump -- she had built an excellent relationship with him, but

she could have been firmer. Mrs May hasn't said any word of criticism

about the travel bans. She refused to say anything three times in

Ankara, and it is merely an anonymous Downing Street

spokesperson that has issued the subsequent mild criticism. We have

not heard from the Prime Minister at all on this matter in terms of

criticism. No, but the spokesperson will be speaking with her blessing,

so it is clearly something she has acknowledged. As I said before, I

wish she had said something at the time. The global climate at the

moment is delicate and we need our leaders to work together to address

things like the refugee crisis. Potentially, this plays into the

hands of Daesh. It is absolutely not the right message. What would you

like the Prime Minister to say? As with any new relationship, it is

about testing the boundaries. They had clearly got on well, so she

should have felt braver to say something there and then. I would

have preferred her to say, for example, I need to talk to Donald

Trump about this. It is not something I support and I want to

understand why because I believe there is a better way to deal with

the terrorist threat. I would have liked her to suggest that she would

engage with him to do that. The president has instituted a 90 day

temporary ban on people coming from seven mainly Muslim majority

population countries. The seven were on President Obama's list of the

biggest terrorist threats to the United States. Mr Trump wants this

temporary ban until he puts tougher vetting procedures in place. What is

wrong with that? Because it appeared to me that it wasn't thought through

and it was affecting ordinary citizens and some British citizens.

It can't be right that a president in that position of power can

arbitrarily come up with executive powers like that. It has already

been challenged by his own courts. So it is not the considered approach

I want to see in a global leader. Who do you believe will be hurt by

this, given that there can be exceptions on a case-by-case basis?

I think potentially, our global reputation is going to be hurt by

this. I have been to the refugee camps in Europe myself. There are

desperate people trying to free persecution who will be hurt by

this. We are trying to heal the wounds in this country not only

because of Brexit. This is a time of coming together, not about saying it

is located discriminatory against race and religion in this way. Do

you believe that Mr Trump's state visit should go ahead? Well, he is

the leader of America, so it does need to go ahead and we need to work

with him. I believe Theresa has started in a positive manner was

that she just needs to continue in that vein. If he comes to our

country, he needs to respect the way we feel about things. But yes, he is

the president, so he does need to come to the UK. There is some debate

within Westminster as to where it is appropriate for him to speak to MPs,

but it is right that he comes. But if he does come on a state visit,

should he be granted what this country has always thought of as a

great honour, which is a joint address to both Houses of

Parliament? I haven't been an MP long enough to understand the

protocol of where is the right location for him to do that, but I

believe in the past, it has been the greatest leaders, when they have

achieved great things globally, it is Westminster Hall. But there are a

number of MPs saying that is not the most appropriate place and I am

inclined to agree. You don't think he should be accorded the privilege

of speaking to a joint session of Parliament? I think there are places

where he can do that, but Westminster Hall is not yet the

right place. Thank you for joining us.

Steve, within 24 hours, we have seen the difficulty of becoming Donald

Trump's best friend. On the one hand, it could have huge advantages,

particularly for a Brexit Britain. On the other hand, if you are going

to be his best friend, you don't have to give a running commentary on

every major thing he does. Yeah. We have learned a bit about Theresa

May, that when she has to produce a set piece speech which she has time

to prepare, she can get it totally right and sometimes more than right.

When she is faced with a fast-moving story, she is leaden footed and

can't think quickly on her feet. We know, did she regret not saying

more? Evidently she did, because we got a statement from the Downing

Street spokesperson saying more. So she can't think quickly. She's going

to have to think very quickly in response to some of the things he's

going to be doing, because she will be asked about it all the time. It

does highlight the wider danger that the assumption that the special

relationship is always a safe and fertile place to be has been proven

wrong before and I think it will be proven wrong big-time in this case.

You're shaking your head. I don't see why we are responsible for

American domestic policy. I am as appalled as the next person by what

Donald Trump has done. He said he was going to do this, which was why

I did not want Americans to vote for him. In fact, what he has

implemented is much less than what he said he would do when he was

campaigning. I have always felt that the campaigning Trump was the real

Trump. But what he has done is actually constitutional. He has the

executive power to issue this order. It is within the rules in terms of a

class of aliens deemed to be a risk to the United States. It is a 90 day

limited ban. The last president who did this was a Democrat president,

President Carter. He did it in the aftermath of the Iranian crisis.

Well, given the spate of terror attacks on American territory in

recent years, you could argue that he meant well. I don't agree with

Donald Trump. But have people from these countries that he has banned

been involved in terrorist attacks? That is the absurdity. He has not

included Egypt or Pakistan. But I don't remove everyone getting in

such a state about President Carter. The reality is that it is a legal

thing for him to do. I don't like it. But it is not my territory. It

is illegal, because they have been given a right to remain by a judge

in Brooklyn and another judging Alexandra. That is a different issue

for people who have already gone through the vetting. I don't agree

with this. However, I don't think it's reasonable to say that Theresa

May, because she wants to do a deal with Donald Trump, I don't give is

reasonable to say she have to agree with each of his policies. It is

nonsense. But the issue, Janan, is not whether she needs to agree with

him. The question is that she will be questioned about him all the time

now. And although these are matters of domestic policy, the refugee

policy is international. They speak to issues that affect Britain as

well, and I would suggest that she will not get away with this

anonymous statement from Downing Street. People will demand a she

says something on the record. She would get away with it indefinitely.

These situations will recur every time Donald Trump says or does

something contentious. She will be pressed to this associate her

administration from his. She will probably be in a better logistical

situation to do so. She has spent a big chunk of the past 72 hours in

the air. She flew from Washington to Ankara, than from Ankara to London.

We don't have Air Force One, we don't have those frictionless

communications with the ground. She would have been incommunicado for

large periods of time when this story was breaking. That doesn't

excuse the stiff response when she landed and issued a statement via

Downing Street. But during that delay, she did have a plausible

excuse. She has also got a much more tricky geopolitical situation than

many other world leaders. She has to strike a favourable trade deal with

the new US president. It is all very well people saying Justin Trudeau of

Canada was much more vociferous in his criticism of Donald Trump. He is

already in Nafta, he is not striking a new deal. For how long, we don't

know. Exactly, he's trying to stay in Nafta, but he is in a less tricky

situation than she is. Now, Theresa May's was the first

foreign leader to meet President Trump and the visit

was seen as quite a coup for the Prime Minister,

keen for a new trading relationship with the United States

in the wake of Brexit. The Prime Minister congratulated

the new US President for his "stunning election victory"

but might not have intended to be pictured walking

through the White House with him That picture of Donald Trump helping

Theresa May down the steps through the White House colonnade

will be the enduring image Mrs May said the President

told her he was "100% behind Nato". And for her part, the Prime Minister

said she would work hard to make sure other Nato countries

increased their defence spending It's been announced

that there will be a new trade negotiation agreement,

with high-level talks The hope is that this will lead

to a new trade deal between the two countries as soon as

Britain leaves the EU. Mr Trump said he believed "Brexit's

going to be a wonderful thing". On Russia, Theresa May made clear

to Donald Trump her continued

backing for sanctions. And following the controversy over

the President's support for torture, Mr Trump said he would defer

to his Secretary of Defense, General James Mattis, who argues

that the practice doesn't work. And I'm joined now by the former

Ukip leader, Nigel Farage. Do you agree with Mr Trump's

decision to ban Syrian refugees indefinitely from entering the

United States? I agree with the concept of democracy, a point which

appears to be missed by almost all commentators including the BBC. He

was elected to get tough and say he would do everything in his power to

protect America from infiltration by ISIS terrorists. There are seven

countries on that list. He's entitled to do this. I didn't ask if

he was entitled, I asked if agree with it. I do, because if you just

look at what's happening in France and Germany, if you look at Angela

Merkel's policy which was to allow virtually anyone in from anywhere,

look what it led to. You said in 2013 there's a responsibility on all

of us in the free west to help some of those people fleeing Syria

literally in fear of their lives. That's the Christian community in

virtually all of those country, it is almost too late because many have

been wiped out but if you are looking for a genuine definition of

a refugee, going back to 1951, it is someone in direct fear of

persecution of their life because of their race, religion or beliefs. But

you didn't talk about only Christians, and in January 2014 you

said, I seem to recall it was Ukip who started the debate on allowing

Syrian refugees, you seem to be in favour of allowing proper refugees

into this country. If they can be defined. Mr Trump won't let any in.

He is running American policy, not British policy. Since I made those

comments, we have had the Angela Merkel madness and I think Trump's

policy in many ways has been shaped by what Angela Merkel did. He is

fully entitled to do this, and as far as we are concerned in this

country, I would like to see extreme vetting. Since 9/11 can you name any

terrorist event in the United States that has involved refugees that have

been allowed into the country? No, in fact the terrorist events have

been US citizens radicalised. When you have a problem already, why

would you wish to add to it? I would remind you that of the eight people

that committed those atrocities in Paris, five of them had got into

Europe posing as refugees so there is an issue here. But perhaps not

for America because it has the most rigorous and lengthy screening

process in the world, especially for Syrians. You have to register with

the UN agency for refugees, which then recommend certain names to

America, they then go through biometric screening, database

screening, intelligent screenings, including four separate intelligence

agencies screening you. How more rigorous would you want it to be? It

is much more rigorous than we are or the rest of Europe. This is why we

have elections, so voters can make choices and they voted for Donald

Trump to become president and he said he would put bans in place and

then move towards extreme vetting. As far as the Syrians are concerned

he's made that decision but that's what he was voted in fourth. Since

you know him, you have met him, you are confident of his, I'm testing

you on the logic of it. Not that he's democratically elected, I'm not

asking about that, I'm trying to get the case, particularly since if you

take the seven countries of which the ban applies for 19 days, again,

of these seven countries, its citizens have not been involved in

terrorist attacks in the United States. It would be a mistake to say

it is just Muslim countries because the biggest Muslim countries in the

world have not been included in this. The point is they have made

this assessment, they bought themselves 90 days to think about

the policy. This is exactly what Trump's voters would have wanted him

to do. You said the President's rhetoric on immigrants made even you

feel very uncomfortable. Because he started by saying there was a total

ban, then amended it to say there would be vetting. My guess is that

what he will do is try to genuinely help Syrian people and he will be

talking about the creation of some safe zones. Let's see. He hasn't. We

will see. I suspect something like that is coming down the trap. What

advice did you give to the president and his advisers ahead of Theresa

May's visit? That I wanted us to talk about trade and to give the

Prime Minister the impression that actually... When she has been

surrounded by her whole career by civil servants and politicians who

say that everything takes five years or seven years or ten years, to make

it clear to the Prime Minister that if there is will, these things can

be done quickly. Isn't there a danger of a British Prime Minister

who has to deal with the president of the United States, to Ally

herself so closely with such an unpredictable, controversial

president, banning Muslims in certain ways and refugees, building

a war with Mexico, threatening trade was with other countries, thinking

of ending sanctions against Russia? I missing something here, what is

controversial about defending the Mexican border? Bill Clinton spoke

in tough terms, George Bush built six miles of fence, and because it

is Donald Trump there is uproar. So you think there is no risk of the

British by Minister being the best friend of this type of president? I

think there is no risk in putting together a trade deal and no risk in

her being the bridge between America and the rest of Nato to say to Nato

members if you don't pay your 2% he is serious so on those things there

is no risk at all. It was clear from her Lancaster house speech that the

Brexiteers in the Government had won pretty much every argument in terms

of negotiations to come out. What you want from her? She was very good

as Home Secretary, Tory party conferences, the Tory press saying

this was the new Thatcher and she failed. She even failed to control

immigration from outside the European Union so yes, it was a good

speech and for many on the Eurosceptic side of the argument, I

could scarcely believe that a British Prime Minister was saying

things which I had been roundly abused and vilified for. But I have

a feeling we may be in for a very frustrating 2017. The mood as I can

see it in Brussels is that negotiating with Britain is not a

priority, they are far more worried about Dutch elections, French

elections, German elections and possibly even Italian elections. I

worry that by the end of this year we may not have made much progress

and that's why the Trump visit suddenly things brings into focus.

What if by the middle of June, for argument 's sake, the Americans say

OK we reached this position with the British, compromised on the tough

stuff, food standards and things like that, we are ready to sign a

deal now, and Theresa May is to say actually Mr Juncker says I cannot

sign this until we leave. What will they do? They cannot throw us out,

we are living anyway. But everybody agrees you can talk about the deal,

maybe even do the heads of agreement but you cannot sign a treaty until

we have left the EU. Let me predict that at the end of this year we will

find a European Union who frankly don't want to talk to us and

countries around the world that want to get on and do things and that

will be the big tension for Mrs May over the course of this year. If the

Prime Minister is giving you everything you want on Brexit, you

agree that she's trying to get from your point of view the right things.

If she delivers on that and get Brexit on the terms of which you

approve, what's the point of Ukip? You could argue that about any

political party. If we have achieved the goal that we set out to achieve,

there are right now out there 4 million people who are Ukip

loyalists. They are delighted that by voting Ukip we got a referendum,

they will be even happier if they seek us leave the European Union and

I think there is still a gap in British politics for a party that

says it as it sees it, is not afraid by political correctness and is seen

to be on the side of the little people, and that's why, with the

Labour Party is fundamentally split, and it really is totally split over

this European question, I think Ukip is in good shape. That proposition

will be put to test at the Stoke Central by-election, one of Ukip's

best prospects in the country. Some people call it the capital of

Brexit. Labour is in chaos over Article 50, is picked a candidate to

fight Stoke Central who has described Brexit is a pile of notes.

If your successor, Paul Nuttall, cannot win the Stoke by-election,

there's not much hope for you, is there? I think he will. I've always

been told don't make predictions but I think he will win. If you doesn't

it will be tough, we will still have our 4 million loyalists, but if it

does we can actually see Labour are beatable in their heartlands and

Ukip will be off to the second big stage. Nigel Farage, thank you for

being with us. It's just gone 11.25,

you're watching the Sunday Politics. We say goodbye to viewers

in Scotland, who leave us now Coming up here in 15 minutes, I'll

be talking to our political panel. You are watching the Sunday

politics for Yorkshire and We investigate a drop in care home

places and meet one man with the radical solution to the

crisis of looking after our elderly Yes, they give money to local

authorities but it is the Government through taxation that

ought to be caring for the elderly. Yes, it's a slightly shorter,

but not less important, Sunday Politics from Yorkshire

and Lincolnshire today. I'm joined here in the studio

by Diana Johnson, the Labour And from Cleethorpes,

the Conservative MP for that It's known as bed blocking -

when hospitals can't discharge patients because there is no

suitable onward care available. But Sunday Politics has discovered

that the number of care home places available across Yorkshire

and Lincolnshire has dropped by 5% in the last five years,

whilst the our aging Now one man says its time

for radical solutions after his father-in-law

lived in five different Pat McGuire has spoken out

after he and his family chose to find residential care

in Beverley, in East for his father-in-law

who had dementia. But because of issues surrounding

closure and suitability, his father-in-law had to be moved

four times after initially settling While we can't ever prove it,

we honestly believe that the moves that he had to undergo affected him

and made his condition worse. Yes, they give money

to the local authorities but it is the Government

through taxation that ought to be caring, just as we would expect them

to do for small children, the young. We ought to be providing

the same level of care from Government

for the elderly. Others believe that the way money

is distributed within the care sector is vital in assuring that

the right services are delivered. Even when the country

was better off economically, social care was left

at the bottom of the list so it never got the funding

But the NHS, struggling as it is at the minute,

Spending a bit more on social care relieves the pressure on the NHS,

so moving some money from them to us.

My personal view is, it's about time the NHS and social

Funding issues have been blamed for a number

of care homes which have had to close down.

Earlier this month, Jeremy Corbyn said a Labour Government

would take failing private care homes into public ownership in order

The Conservative MP for Beverley and Holderness says

What we do not want to do is what the Labour

Party wants to do - things like nationalising a failing

home with high costs, low numbers of residents

The Government is absolutely committed to getting this right.

If we look on the ground in Beverley, despite the current

problems, in the next few weeks we are going to see

over the next year I expect to see a much improved situation

In a statement the Department of Health says that it

recognises the pressures of an ageing population which is why it

announced nearly ?900 million of additional funding for adult

It adds that the Prime Minister has made clear this is not just about

money and that they are working to find a long-term solution which

helps councils learn from each other to raise standards.

Back in Beverley, Pat McGuire is not convinced.

I can only believe that it is going to get worse.

Here in Beverley we have lost or are about to lose

over 30% of the beds that dementia patients could be going into

There are new homes being built in Beverley but they are

extremely expensive and I suspect they will not want to see people

that need far greater care then many people who are just frail.

This is something I am sure many people watching today will be able

to relate to. We have a rising elderly population but fewer care

home places. What is the solution's ?900 million has been found to help

social care in the next two years but the local Government Association

say the shortfall was going to be ?2.6 billion. I think actually that

what Mr McGuire was saying about a radical solution to this needs to be

lit at. After the Second World War women knew that health care needed a

national approach we sat at the National Health Service. I think now

the time has come for all the parties to come and think about a

national care service is funded through taxation. I think we need to

integrate the National Health Service and whatever social care we

have committed work for people. This is going to get worse I think that

is why action is needed now. Martin Vickers, you heard there an elderly

man with dementia who in the last year of his life was in five

different care homes. Can you understand why many people say the

care sector is in crisis? Of course because people judge the care sector

or the health service by the own experience. Politicians can come on

TV and say we are putting in the extra resources in, so many

brilliant... Judgment is made by personal experience. I do not think,

as Graham Stewart was saying on the package, the solution is in effect

nationalisation because local authorities have a duty to find a

place for someone if a care home causes anyway. Let me put that point

to you Diana, Jeremy Corbyn says he wants to take failing care homes

into public, nationalising the care industry. I think we need to think

about how we do that. He has talked about failing care homes. I want to

think about how we provide the kind of level of social care across the

country that people rightly should expect. You don't agree with Jeremy

Corbyn? That as one bed but I do not think that solves the problem of

providing good social care around the country. I want to see about

local authorities, my own local authority will have taken ?40

million out of adult social care from 2010 to 2020 because of

Government cuts. To put it all onto Government cuts. To put it all onto

local authorities is wrong and that is why the national Government needs

to step up to be played here and save as a country we need to

think we provide for our elderly population. The heart of this

debate, Martin Vickers, is the fact that many councils say we do not

have enough money to deliver social care, do they? I am on record in the

House of Commons saying that cuts to cancel budget have reached a tipping

point now. In fairness, as Theresa May has said, it is not just a

matter of putting resources in, it is ensuring that councils and care

home operators use those resources to their best. There are many cases

where that is not the case. I do agree that has got to be a solution.

Whether you could find a cross-party solution, as Diana was mentioning,

in all honesty, I rather doubt. I the Labour Party going to give up on

attacking the present Government on the NHS because they have reached

some agreement? I rather doubt that. Part of the problem with the NHS at

the moment as social care and, I think as you said in your

introduction, as bed blocking. There are places for people to move onto

after the had been in the NHS. If we can get some agreement around social

care, that will help in terms of the NHS and budget and the problems the

NHS have at the moment. People are asking to Page 3% more on council

tax bills. Should they be paying more than that? -- pay more. That 3%

from people who are just about managing is a lot to ask. Nationally

the Government needs to consider the fact that in Surrey they can ask

their council taxpayers to pay a lot more but they have a bigger council

taxpayers, they will get more money from the council taxpayer Demi get

an Hull. Poor areas will never be able to provide that level of

service we need to see for our elderly population. You represent an

area that is not swimming in money, those council tax rises are nowhere

near going to cover the extra costs of social care? Note, it is to some

extent putting a plaster on a gaping wound. When much more serious

surgery is needed. It is a stopgap measure. I recognise the fact that

the care sector... We all know about ageing populations and the reasons

for this, but people do expect higher standards now. Changes in

society mean that the elderly zero longer stay with their families or

their extended families in the dying years. -- stay longer. It is the

biggest issue, certainly in cost terms that Government over the next

decade or two it will have two phase. It is an issue we will come

back to. Here is more of this week's political views Split-mac news. --

political news. Here's Richard Edwards

with our round up in 60 seconds. MPs will debate the Brexit bill for

the first time next Tuesday, with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn ordering

his MPs to back the bill regardless There have already

been resignations. A war of words has broken out over

a move to scrap the seven district councils in Lincolnshire and replace

them with a unitary authority It is a money-saving exercise

but will it be popular? Organisations involved in Jo Cox's

national lonliness commission met The late MP was passionate

about reducing isolation. The commission which she started

to organise before her And while Theresa May was a bit busy

across the Atlantic, the campaign to honour the last

surviving British dambuster went to Downing Street with some

celebrity support. Lincolnshire-born Johnny Johnson

was part of the crew that destroyed German dams

in World War II. More than 200,000 people have signed

that petition. The strength of public feeling there is clear. How

will you vote when it comes to Article 50? I have signed that

petition as well and I got something happens. I have always been clear I

am voting to trigger it. The hard work is going to start once that is

triggered and the negotiations. Making sure we get the very best

deal we can for the people of the United Kingdom and for my

constituency in Hull north. Can you understand why some MPs who

majority of remained voters, can you majority of remained voters, can you

understand why they would defy the Labour whip and vote against a? This

has never really been about the whip, this is about listening to

what my constituents said. Most of my constituency wanted to leave. I

wanted to stay but I respect that. I do understand that it is difficult

for MPs if they come from constituencies that have had a very

large remain vote. Absolutely, it is difficult but it is not about the

whip for me. It is about listening to the constituents and listening to

what they are saying to you. At Prime Minister questions the other

day, there was a suggestion from Jeremy Corbyn that the Government

will not be protecting workers' rights when we leave the European

Union, your neighbouring MP came up with a bill that would do just that.

Yet the Conservatives topped it down. I am not in the business of

reducing the rights of employees in my constituency but the Prime

Minister and other ministers have already made very, very clear that

there is no intention of reducing workers' rights. To some extent,

Melanie's bill was superfluous. Do you think it was superfluous? I am

worried about this. The Government could have supported her bill. The

good have showed that in good faith we want all the employment rights

people have at work to remain in place. They could have decided, as a

gesture of goodwill and good faith, to action in support. Things like

protection for agency workers and part-time workers, are you convinced

they will be enshrined in UK law when we leave the European Union?

Many of the rights we talk about were actually enacted by the British

Parliament before they became a European responsibility. I have apps

are looking no doubt that the overwhelming majority of

Conservatives will support enshrining the existing rules into

UK law, which is actually what the great repeal act when it comes

forward will do. -- absolutely. What guarantees are you looking for,

Diana? The bottom line is I want to make sure people I represent a zero

worse off and we leave the European Union. I will be looking for

guarantees for industries in Holby able to access the European market.

It is about jobs and investment in the city. -- industries and Hull.

The great repeal act, when it comes, will be spending a lot of time on

that because that is a huge amount to do. A huge amount. -- we will be.

You have new industries in your constituency connected with

renewables on the Humber. You getting positive messages at that

Brexit from them or not? Many of the industries... I most certainly am.

My constituents know I have been a big supporter of Brexit for the last

40 years. I am totally convinced that the country and my constituents

will be better off as soon as we can break three from the heavy-handed

Europe, which is might in recession. -- Miert. We do not want to upset

those Millwall fans. Thank you to Martin Vickers and Diana Johnson.

Welcome back and let's get back to Donald Trump's travel ban

on refugees and citizens from seven mainly Muslim countries.

Earlier, the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, told ITV that a state

visit by President Trump to the UK should not go ahead

I think it would be totally wrong for him to be coming here while that

situation is going on. He has to be challenged on this. So until the ban

is lifted, you don't think he should come? I am not happy about him

coming here until the ban is lifted. Look at what is happening with those

countries. What will be the long term effect of this on the rest of

the world? Is this state visit going to become a matter of huge political

debate in this country? It would be anyway, but it is a temporary ban,

so Jeremy Corbyn is on safe territory. It will be over by April

and he is not due to come until summer. But there are three bands.

There is the 90 day ban on people coming from the southern countries.

There is the 120 day ban on refugees from anywhere in the world, and

there is the indefinite ban on Syrian refugees. So there may still

be some bans in place. But bear in mind the number of Syrian refugees

and refugees from around the world that President Obama took over his

eight years. There were years when it was not even up to 50 Syrian

refugees that were taken since the civil war has started. This is an

ongoing American policy. 12,500 Syrian refugees have come in the

last year. Before that, it was a hundred and sometimes under 50. But

they are reasonable numbers now, although not something America

couldn't absorb. Donald Trump is discovering that being a president

is different from being a business man. And Jeremy Corbyn has to learn

the art of leadership, having been a backbench MP, and has struggled to

do it, as we are about to discuss with article 50. With this, you have

to dramatise the politics of this, and this is what he has done with

that statement. Most controversial ever state visit now? I would

imagine so. Even regardless of any opposition from the opposition to

trump's physical presence in the streets, the presence of

demonstrators will be an international new story. If trump's

demands for the details of the visit are quite as extreme and as picky as

some of the Sunday papers have suggested, that could also be the

source of controversy. What do you have in mind? Isn't he anxious that

only certain members of the Royal Family turn up? He doesn't want a

one-on-one with Prince Charles. Who would, though! Some people may be

sympathetic on that. It is the one subject where he is in line with

British opinion. Playing golf in front of the Queen may be a higher

priority. We have to be realistic. Given the other people from around

the world that the Queen has played host to, like the Chinese president

and Saudi kings and the like, we have had a lot worse come to visit

than Donald Trump. Brexit - how serious our neighbour's problems on

this? Very serious, but they often are with Europe. Labour were splits

when we joined in the 70s, and still won general elections, in 1974 and

1975. There were all over the place in terms of the single currency.

Blair said one thing one day and the opposite the next day. Brown did the

same. Brown usually set the opposite of

what Blair said! They won landslide because they have the political

skills to put all of the pressure on the major government, even though

their position on the single currency was the same as major's. It

is about with Europe the art of leadership. You have to be a

political conjuror, you have to dissemble authoritative leak when

you lead a divided party over Europe, and Jeremy Corbyn to his

personal credit cannot dissemble, but he's not an individual person on

this. He's leading a split party in danger of falling apart, and you

need the skills of a political conjurer. Clearly self-evidently

he's not displaying it because we are talking about the chaotic split

which will manifest itself in that vote on Article 50. Labour and the

SNP and the Lib Dems too I would have thought will all put amendments

down to the short Article 50 piece of legislation. Do they have any

chance of succeeding? No substantial world is changing amendments. I

don't think Theresa May has much to worry about actually. I think if

anything the reason she's pushed the legal appeal is that it helps her to

have a big chunk of the media and a big chunk of public opinion worrying

that the popular will of last year is in danger of being overturned and

so even if it was a completely hopeless legal appeal, it generated

headlines for a week that as an incumbent Prime Minister trying to

execute believe vote suits you politically. I think it is a much

bigger problem for Labour, we've already seen some Shadow Cabinet

issues in the previous week. You have got to remember it's not just a

majority of Labour MPs that want to stay in the European Union, but a

majority of Labour constituencies, and a majority of labour macro

voters wanted to stay as well so we have three lines of division. One

amendment that might get through if it was called, and it is in the

hands of the Deputy speaker who will be chairing these debates, and that

will be an amendment that said regardless of how the Europeans

treat our citizens in Europe, all EU citizens here will be afforded full

rights to remain. That might get through. It may indeed and lots of

backbench MPs would backpack. We all know there will not be mass

deportations, it is not legal, it won't happen, it is simply a

negotiating tactic. I agree with those who say you shouldn't be using

people as a negotiating tactic, but the reality as it is the EU leaders

that are doing that because it's already been offered. The remain as

should be attacking the EU governments for not offering that in

return. Article 50 is the easy bit for her. I agree with other members

of the panel that she will get it through and the court case almost

helps her by getting an easy journey through Parliament, then it gets

really difficult. All of this has been a preamble and once she begins

that nightmarish negotiation, there will be opportunities for a smart

opposition to make quite a lot of the turmoil to come. Whether Labour

are capable of that, let's wait and see. The divisions in Labour are

nightmarish for them but by no means unprecedented. Arguably it was much

more complicated in the early 1970s when you had Titans on either side,

big ex-cabinet ministers... Tony Benn... Michael Foot, they were all

at it. The fundamental issue of in or out, and they won two elections,

so you have got to be really clever. But also how money more Labour MPs

will resign. We shall find out this week.
