Burnham criticism of Trump was 'just politics', minister claims

Equalities minister Bridget Phillipson has addressed Prime Minister Andy Burnham's previous criticisms of Donald Trump - including saying the president wouldn't be welcome in Manchester.

Speaking on Sunday Morning with Kamal Ahmed, when Burnham's comments were put to Phillipson, she said: "Look, I think what you've just described there is politics. The president knows that, this is... far from unique.

"And people will express views at different points on different topics. And that's no bar to having a strong relationship."
