Latest politics: NHS chiefs to pay ultimatum – as Starmer refuses to back Archbishop of Canterbury

The next topic our panel discusses is whether Donald Trump should be allowed a state visit when he becomes President of the United States.

Guto Harri, who worked in Downing Street for Boris Johnson, says he has not been silent in his criticism of Trump – but believes he should be given a welcome in Britain.

“I described it as hideous, ridiculous, all of the above,” he says.

“However, he is clearly the choice of the American people in a democratic election where the kitchen sink was thrown at him and he came out.

“And so we welcome him as we welcome everyone else – but more so because we also have special connections.”

“Unlikely Big Bromance”

Sir Tony Blair’s former communications chief Alastair Campbell says a visit is also expected under Sir Keir Starmer.

“I would be very surprised if there isn’t one sometime in the next parliament,” he said.

However, he said it was hard to imagine Sir Keir and Trump having a “great relationship” – in the same way that there was no “personal chemistry” between the president-elect and Theresa May.

“I think we have to be big about it — Trump is the president whether we like it or not,” he says.

“It’s always about him, he always craves attention, he always makes the weather. And we just have to, you know, keep our own national interest in mind.”

That concludes our coverage tonight Politics Hub with Sophie Ridge. The show returns tomorrow at 19.00.
