A Southampton councillor has taken to social media to call for Prime Minister Theresa May to resign, following the invitation of Donald Trump’s for a state visit.
Taking to social media, Southampton City Council’s Satvir Kaur has said the Prime Minister needs to 'grow a backbone', after Downing Street came into controversy by inviting the US President for a state visit.
On one social media post, the Labour councillor said she was disgusted that it took so long for the PM to clarify that she did not agree with the ban which stops refugees from also entering, along with '#MayMustGo’.
This has to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever read - our PM May needs to learn to take some responsibility and grow a backbone!! 🙄😤 https://t.co/Cby5sIlIkc

On another message sent this morning, she said: “Our PM needs to learn to take some responsibility and grow a backbone!”
The message came in response to a national reporter claiming that Number 10 said they were not to blame for offering Trump a state visit, and that it was the responsibility of the state visit committee.
*slow clap* Disgusted this took so long - #MayMustGo https://t.co/VZ7aVHxpNb

Royston Smith said: “We must remember that our special relationship is with the American people and not Donald Trump.
“It is important to them, as well as us, that we make the best of this and hope that the President and those around him will soon see that this behaviour does nothing to enhance the reputation of the USA around the world.”
President Donald Trump is living up to my very low expectations of him. Our 'Special Relationship' is with the American people, not him.

The city protest yesterday saw around 100 people gather to voice their anger, with residents wanting to send a message that opposition was out there. It was the second such protest since the President began his reign, with another protest held on his inauguration day.
