Torcuil Crichton, a Labour MP from Scotland, extended an invitation to Donald Trump to visit his mother's island home in the Isle of Lewis. Both Crichton and Trump share the same ancestral roots on the island. Crichton believes the invitation is a fitting Christmas gesture, despite their political differences.
A Scottish Labour MP has invited Donald Trump to his mother's island home. Labour’s Torcuil Crichton extended the offer to the US President-elect in a Christmas card.
During the election campaign he put out dangerous rhetoric which demonised migrants and promised revenge on those he felt had wronged him. Joan comes from the same Lewis village of Tong as Trump's mother Mary Anne MacLeod left from in the 1930s to settle in America. Crichton added that he chose the post-result photo in his mother’s kitchen as it captured the culmination of a long election campaign. He said his mother could "give Donald Trump some invaluable advice."
"The politics of Donald Trump could not be more different from the principles that the Labour Party is supposed to represent. The last thing they should be doing is offering to play host to him. He added: “The Scottish people, they’re tough people. They’re good people. Actually, they’re very great people. But they’re good fighters.”
