LAST week Donald Trump shared with millions of people inflammatory content from a far-right British extremist organisation, in an extraordinary and inexplicable move.

I raised my serious concerns in the Commons with the Home Secretary and urged the Government to respond, called for action from Twitter, and wrote to the PM to urge her to condemn the actions and to think again on the proposed state visit for this racist, irresponsible President.

Speaking in Parliament I said: “Let me be clear: I condemn the original content of the messages shared as abhorrent. Anybody who purveys hatred or violence online or in person, whether the fascist far right, those who falsely claim to act in the name of Islam, or anti-Semites, should rightly be exposed and dealt with.

“Let us also be clear: this is the President of the United States sharing with millions inflammatory and divisive content deliberately posted to sow hatred and division by a convicted criminal who is facing further charges and who represents a vile fascist organisation seeking to spread hatred and violence in person and online. By sharing it, he is racist, incompetent or unthinking—or all three.”

I love America and Americans. My grandfather was an American GI who came here in 1944 to help us fight the forces of fascism. I’ve travelled across 25 of the United States, meeting people of extraordinary generosity, courage, kindness and humanity. This President represents none of those things.

I spoke to UK media outlets as well as CNN and NPR Radio in the USA and CBC Radio in Canada – and the supportive responses I’ve received from British and American people, suggested that many agree with me - even some of those who had formerly backed Trump.

This week I’ve also been standing up for Wales in the Brexit debate, working cross-party to attempt to stop a power grab from the Welsh Assembly and Government in Scotland.

The shambolic negotiations in Brussels have shown how the Irish border issue and devolution are crucial in this debate. Getting this right has huge implications for Welsh trade and businesses and of course stability and peace on the island of Ireland.

There is an easy way to resolve the impasse, as I’ve argued for some time - we should stay in the Customs Union and Single Market. It was great to see Keir Starmer, Labour's Shadow Brexit Secretary, agreeing these options must be left on the table.
