Sir Keir Starmer needs to "suck it up" and invite Donald Trump on a state visit after winning the US election, Labour peer Harriet Harman has said.
The prime minister congratulated Mr Trump on Wednesday's victory and said having had dinner with him a few weeks ago "I look forward to working with him in the years to come".
However, he has not always chosen his words so carefully, in 2016 calling Mr Trump's comments "on issues such as Mexican immigrants, Muslims and women... absolutely repugnant".
