NEW: London Mayor @london.gov.uk on Trump’s UNGA speech to CBS News “We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response. London is the greatest city in the world, safer than major US cities, and we’re delighted to welcome the record number of US citizens moving here.”

“In terms of freedom of speech… it’s alive and well in the UK,” @lewisgoodall.com told @cbsnews.com Wednesday. “You can protest, you can say what you like. The only thing you can’t do is incite violence… which many believe is what Elon Musk did when he addressed that rally on Saturday.”

President Trump and Starmer are unlikely to avoid questions from journalists during the state visit this week about the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. And Trump’s visit comes at a moment when U.K. PM Keir Starmer has never looked more politically vulnerable. More below from me ⬇️

President Trump is due to arrive in Scotland Friday for a four-day private trip — his first to the U.K since he was re-elected.

“The policies that he represents are completely at odds with what we value here.” Ahead of President Trump’s visit to Scotland, we went to the small town of Balmedie for @cbsnews.com to hear from locals about the impact that Trump’s golf club has had on the area. Take a look:
