DIPLOMATIC SPAT OVER TRUMP TWEETS GROWS

US President Donald Trump has hit out at UK Prime Minister Theresa May on Twitter, telling her not to focus on him but rather on "destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism...within the United Kingdom."

The message comes after the UK government criticised President Trump for retweeting videos from a far-right British group.

It's led to calls from some UK MPs for an invitation to Mr Trump to make a state visit to Britain - to be withdrawn.

But Conservative Nadim Zawahi disagrees.
