Donald Trump should prepare for the “UK’s biggest ever protest” if he visits Birmingham, campaigners said today.

It was reported this morning that Trump’s state visit - expected to take place in July or August - could be shifted from London to the Midlands to make it “easier to police.”

And it’s been claimed the government could arrange a stadium rally for the President.

But politicians and activists say President Trump should expect a frosty reception if he turns up in Brum.

Shabana Mahmood, Labour MP for Birmingham Ladywood, said: “Birmingham is a wonderfully diverse city, home to people of every background, every faith - President Trump with his hateful and divisive rhetoric, policies and Muslim ban is not welcome here."

Trump’s Muslim ban has already sparked some of the most well attended and furious UK protests in recent years.

Dozens of protests took place in towns and cities across Britain, drawing crowds in their thousands in London, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Sheffield, Newcastle, Manchester, Brighton, Birmingham and Leeds.

And another rally is planned for February 20th outside Parliament as part of a nationwide day of action.

But Writer Owen Jones, who co-founded the Stop Trump Coalition, said rallies against a Trump visit to the Midlands could be even bigger.

He said: “Donald Trump's state visit will be marked by the biggest protest against racism and hatred in our country's history. It doesn't matter where he goes. We will march in our millions against him, and our government's collusion, in every town and city in Britain.”

Birmingham Campaigner Salma Yaqoob said: "If Donald Trump comes to the great city of Birmingham, our diverse communities will take to the streets in our thousands - and show him what we think about his misogyny, racism, and Islamophobia."
