Labour's Lucy Powell suggests Mr Johnson's "empty and heartless" statement in the House of Commons "demeans" the great office he holds.

Unsurprisingly, the foreign secretary strongly disagrees, saying that he has made clear that he does not support the US travel ban but the policy is being pursued by a sovereign government in line with "due process".

Labour MP Rushanara Ali says that, as a Muslim, she finds recent developments "deeply worrying and disturbing", including the mass shooting at a mosque in Quebec City, Canada.

"When political leaders amplify divisions... we send the wrong message," she adds.

"We take hate crime very seriously in our country," Boris Johnson says.

The SNP's Carol Monaghan says a constituent of hers was prevented from travelling because the journey involved a stop in the United States.

"The Holocaust didn't start with the gas chambers," she adds.

The foreign secretary says he is aware of her constituent's problem and consular assistance will be provided.

He claims that her other comment "trivialises the Holocaust".

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says the coming weeks will be "really critical" if a UK-wide Brexit position is to be found.

Downing Street has been pressed again on the purpose of a state visit so early in Donald Trump's presidency. 

At this afternoon's lobby briefing, a No 10 spokesman said the event would be about continuing to forge close relations with an ally with whom the UK has an "enduring relationship". 

Nicola Sturgeon warns "time is running out" for the UK government to show a greater willingness to compromise on the triggering of Article 50.

Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns says the UK government is closer to the thinking of voters on immigration than the first minister.

First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones says Brexit is happening, and the issue now is the terms of how it happens.

Conservative MP Keith Simpson, a former Foreign Office minister, says the foreign secretary has been "sent out to bat on a very sticky wicket".

He asks Boris Johnson: "When he intervened in Washington, was it through the state department or the President's son-in-law?" he asks.

Mr Simpson is referring to Jared Kushner, appointed as an adviser to his father-in-law the President. Earlier this month, the foreign secretary was reported to be having talks with Mr Kushner and other members of the US president's team, external.

"We have very good relations at all levels now with the US government," Boris Johnson says, adding that ministers have spoken to the US department of homeland security.

Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen claims opposition MPs are too accustomed to the UK not having control over its immigration policy.

The pro-Brexit MP suggests they now seek to lecture another country for trying to control immigration.

Boris Johnson says his Tory colleague puts it "bluntly but accurately".

The prime minister tells the leaders of the devolved governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland that she will "intensify" work on their proposals for Brexit.

Labour MP Mike Gapes claims previous US presidents George W Bush and Barack Obama had to wait two years for a state visit to the UK.

He asks why "Theresa the appeaser" has invited Donald Trump so soon.

Boris Johnson says it is inappropriate to compare "the elected leader of a great democracy and 1930s tyrants".

Two contrasting views of Theresa May are offered from different sides of the House.

Green Party MP Caroline Lucas says Boris Johnson says the PM was one of the first to respond to the travel ban - but claims: "She certainly was not - we've heard it was 38 hours."

She accuses the government of being "complicit with tyranny".

Later, Conservative MP Sir Edward Leigh says Mrs May's visit to the US was "an absolute triumph and we're all thoroughly proud of her".

Conservative MP Nadhim Zahawi is one of those calling for an emergency debate on the US travel ban, alongside Labour's Ed Miliband.

He welcomes the foreign secretary's statement but asks if the US government has updated its advice to embassies. He claims they are "still turning some people away".

Temperatures are rising in the Commons as Labour's David Winnick describes President Trump as a "wretched and bigoted man" and seeks assurances he will not address Parliament during his state visit.

Mr Johnson says Parliament is entitled to make its views known but makes clear that there is "every reason" why the visit should go ahead, saying that the US-UK alliance is the most important geopolitical fact of the past 100 years and the visit would help celebrate and cement that bond.
