“He’s going to come at some point, I suppose,” said Mr Corbyn. “He is the president of the United States, he will come at some point and no doubt there will be robust discussion­s with him.”

Ms Thornberry, meanwhile, told The Andrew Marr Show on BBC1 that Mrs May had humiliated the Queen with the controvers­y over inviting Mr Trump to the UK.

“It was wrong for Theresa May to so prematurel­y give him a state visit,” she said. “It is very difficult once an invitation for a state visit has been made to withdraw it. Only the Queen can withdraw it and I don’t want to put her in that embarrassi­ng position.” HE hit the headlines when he described African countries as “s**tholes” but Donald Trump’s language has now made its way into the dictionary.

The word “bigly” was listed as “rare” until Mr Trump came along and vowed to “win bigly” while “Trumpism” – words associated with Mr Trump – may enter the Oxford Dictionary, which has collected citations for more than 50 of his neologisms.

However, Oxford’s Katherine Connor Martin said the only “true neologism” from Mr Trump could be “covfefe”, which was coined accidental­ly in a tweet last May when the US President posted the head-scratcher: “Despite the constant negative press covfefe”.
