British MPs could face an awkward diplomatic relationship with the US after previously debating whether to ban Donald Trump from the country.
The three-hour debate came in January after the business mogul suggested barring Muslims from entering the US and claimed some London areas were so radicalised police were “afraid for their own lives”.
More than 570,000 people had signed a petition calling on the Government to stop Mr Trump, now on course to become the new US President, coming into the country.
Even Prime Minister at the time David Cameron had called Mr Trump’s words “divisive, stupid and wrong”.
Although MPs decided a ban from the country could boost his cause and one labelled it “embarrassing”, politicians hit out at the billionaire, calling him a “fool” and ”a wazzock”.
Labour MP Tulip Siddiq called the Republican “corrosive and poisonous” and claimed his words stoked up divisions.
She said: "His words are not comical. His words are not funny.
“His words are poisonous. They risk inflaming tension between vulnerable communities.
"Hate crime is being inflamed and stoked by the words that Donald Trump is using.”
Jack Dromey said: “Donald Trump is a fool. He's free to be a fool. He's not free to be a dangerous fool on our shores.”
The SNP’s Gavin Newlands claimed Trump was an “idiot” while Tory Victoria Atkins chose the words “bonkers” and “a wazzock”.
She said: "His comments regarding Muslims are wrong.
"His policy to close borders if he is elected president is bonkers.
"If he met one or two of my constituents in one of the many excellent pubs in my constituency then they may well tell him he is a wazzock for dealing with this issue in this way.”
Trump’s “buffoonery” should be met with “the classic British response of ridicule”, Victoria Atkins chimed in.
But the Conservatives’ Sir Edward Leigh told the Commons: “His entire style of politics is to stoke controversy and say outrageous things.
“Lavishing him with attention, even if our intent is to condemn or deride, is only falling into the trap he has set us."
And Adam Holloway said the whole discussion could make Britain look “totalitarian”.
He warned: “This motion is actually embarrassing to the UK and makes us look intolerant and totalitarian.
“I feel we should almost apologise to the people of the United States. It is for them to decide on Mr Trump's views, not us."
