Jeremy Corbyn will attend a major protest today against Donald Trump's UK State Visit.

The Labour leader will speak at a demo that is expected to be attended by thousands of people in central London.

The rally will march from Trafalgar Square down Whitehall to Parliament Square - while the President holds talks with lame duck Theresa May in Downing Street.

A Labour spokesman confirmed: " Jeremy Corbyn will attend and speak at the demonstration today against President Donald Trump’s state visit."

Mr Corbyn will join thousands of anti-Donald Trump protestors who will march on Parliament Tuesday as the US President sits down with Theresa May for talks.

The massive security operation continued as up to 250,000 demonstrators - including senior Labour MPs - took to the streets of central London to protest against the controversial State visit.

But although the pair will meet with their delegations, they will not sit down for private one-to-one talks, amid suggestions the US President is more interested in Mrs May's successor at No 10. Sources close to Boris Johnson insisted he had not requested a private meeting with the US President and that he had not yet heard whether he would be invited for one.

"He would go if he was, but there's no way he'd sit down for hamburgers if Nigel Farage was there too," they said.

There have also been suggestions that Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage could meet Mr Trump.

A spokeswoman for the Stomp Trump Coalition said: “The point of these protests is to get that message across very clearly and ultimately, to disrupt Trump’s visit. We want him to know he’s not welcome."

Other smaller protests took place around the country Monday and more are planned for Portsmouth where the President will be commemorating D-Day on Tuesday.

The iconic baby blimp is set to make an appearance and protest props will also include a 16ft talking robot of Mr Trump sitting on a gold toilet.

An estimated 250,000 people protested on the streets of central London during the President's first visit last July.
