Donald Trump peddled fake news of his own this week, re-tweeting unverified videos from the far right which claimed to show atrocities committed by Muslims. But as Downing Street issues only a muted rebuke of the president, we ponder what it would take for the UK government to get tough on Trump. Plus we’re asking whether Tim Farron is right that Christians are now scorned by liberals, whether Britain has capitulated in Brexit negotiations, and the biggest question of the week: why aren’t we getting a day off for the royal wedding? All that coming up on this week’s Update The State podcast.
