The UK government has been asked to stop "bending over backwards" for US President Donald Trump.
During an UK parliamentary emergency debate on the US Embassy move to Jerusalem, Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry described Trump's decision as a "hammer blow" to peace efforts in the Middle East.
"The sheer recklessness of that decision needs no debate," she said. "Donald Trump is not crying fire in a crowded theatre. He is deliberately setting fire to the theatre and then he has the unbelievable cheek to say he is moving forward the peace process when in reality, he is setting back decades."
