"Prime Minister Theresa May does "not agree" with Donald Trump's refugee ban and will appeal to the US if it affects British citizens ... She had been criticised for refusing to condemn the move, instead saying it was up to the US to decide its own policy ... 'Immigration policy in the United States is a matter for the government of the United States, just the same as immigration policy for this country should be set by our government' ... 'But we do not agree with this kind of approach and it is not one we will be taking' ... Is it worth the backlash for May? ... Before all the hand holding and pally smiles, Theresa May promised the world she would not be afraid to tell Donald Trump what she thought when she disagreed with him. It didn't take long for her to fall at the first hurdle. The PM changed her tune hours later, but this tougher stance only came after wide condemnation of her failure to condemn Mr Trump in the first place"
