An online petition calling for Donald Trump to be prevented from making an official state visit to the UK has reached 1m signatures. People singing the petition are adding up in hundreds by seconds.
However, Downing Street confirmed that Theresa May would not be withdrawing her invitation to the US president because it remained “substantially in the national interest”. A petition with such numbers would normally trigger a debate in parliament but it is yet to be seen what numbers it would add up to that may eventually make MPs debate about it.
