| Trump sharpens attack on UK ambassador Kim Darroch over emails | |
| (32 minutes later) | |
| US President Donald Trump has stepped up his attack on the UK's ambassador in Washington, saying "we will no longer deal with him". | |
| In a series of tweets on Monday, he said Sir Kim Darroch was "not liked or well thought of within the US". | |
| In leaked emails, Sir Kim had described President Trump's administration as "inept". | |
| Mr Trump's tweets came hours after Mrs May said she had "full faith" in Sir Kim but did not agree with his views. | |
| Her spokesman had described the leak as "absolutely unacceptable", and said the PM's office had made contact with the White House. | |
| Mr Trump had already responded to the leaked emails by saying "we're not big fans of that man and he has not served the UK well". | |
| He then took to Twitter again - also repeating his criticism of Mrs May's handling of Brexit, describing it as "a mess". |
