Without provocation or justification, the President of the United States is attacking our economy, our livelihoods and our national security.
He has put British businesses and jobs on the frontline in his unprovoked war.
The Prime Minister must stand up to him like he would any other bully.

In fact, no one has taken much notice of the Greens' defence policies, which is probably lucky for them.
When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided.
When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid.
The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe.
It's time for a rethink.

This week, I met with Local Government Minister Alison McGovern to lobby for a fairer funding settlement for Somerset.
Although Somerset Council may have no other choice, an 11% increase in council tax for residents is simply not fair or affordable for many.
