A long article, key points of which included:
[h=2]Was there controversy over the planned visit?[/h] Home Secretary Amber Rudd hinted Trump's state visit could have been postponed again anyway after the US President retweeted anti-Muslim videos.
Theresa May criticised the president after he retweeted three clips from the account of far-right Britain First deputy leader Jayda Fransen.
Asked if it was wrong to roll out the "red carpet" to Trump following his controversial tweets, Ms Rudd said: ‘The invitation has been extended and accepted but we have yet to make the arrangements. No date has been agreed yet."
But she stopped short of saying he would not be welcomed.
Ms Rudd added that the relationship is so important she "wouldn’t want to harm it at all".
But other ministers
said a visit would be "unimaginable" after Trump mocked Mrs May on Twitter.
The first video Trump's account re-posted is captioned: "Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches."
[h=2]What was the petition to ban him from visiting Britain?[/h] After the invitation of a state visit was first announced, campaigners
staged protests in Westminster urging the government to withdraw the offer because they oppose Donald Trump's election and his policies.
Protesters were furious at his travel ban on
people from six nations on national security grounds.
They were also outraged at Trump's discriminatory remarks about immigrants as well as comments they say are sexist.
An online petition titled "Prevent Donald Trump from making a State Visit to the United Kingdom" was signed by 1.86million people.
It said he should be allowed to visit the UK - but demanded the Government withdraw the invitation of a state visit because his "misogyny and vulgarity" would embarrass the Queen.
A rival petition titled "Donald Trump should make a State Visit to the United Kingdom" gained more than 311,000 signatures.
Supporters said it would be absurd not to invite the democratically elected President when tyrants have been welcomed in the past.
MPs have debated both petitions in Westminster Hall, where politicians branded Mr Trump a "petulant child" and blasted Britain's "fawning subservience" and "desperation" for a trade deal.
