Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson appears on ‘The Andrew Neil Interviews’ on BBC

Labour have suggested Downing Street may have “advised” Donald Trump on what to say about the NHS during his two-day trip to the UK. Shadow trade secretary Barry Gardiner said: “Maybe his visit to No 10 … schooled him in what he ought to say.”

It comes as video showed Justin Trudeau and other Nato leaders appearing to mock Mr Trump at a Buckingham Palace reception. A huddle, which included Boris Johnson, was filmed apparently gossiping about the president. Mr Johnson said the idea he had been laughing at Mr Trump was “complete nonsense”.

Jo Swinson has endured an awkward encounter with Extinction Rebellion protesters dressed as bees, one of whom glued himself to the Lib Dem campaign bus.

She later apologised for the Lib Dems backing welfare cuts while in power with the Tories in an appearance on BBC One’s The Andrew Neil Interviews.
