After Trump retweeted three anti-Muslim videos posted by the deputy leader of far-right party Britain First, Theresa May <a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/world\/americas\/us-politics\/donald-trump-britain-first-latest-updates-tweet-theresa-may-radical-islamic-terrorism-a8083571.html\">publicly criticised him<\/a> (along with other leading MPs and figures in the UK). This led to the sometimes-sensitive President to tweet the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/theresa_may?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Theresa_May<\/a>, don\u2019t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom.

There are also mixed reports, following Trump\u2019s actions this week, as to whether his State Visit will still go ahead.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 22px;\"><strong>3.

According to a statement from the MailOnline, the right-wing commentator\u2019s contract had not been renewed by \u2018mutual consent\u2019. The columnist is a professional controversist, famous for provoking outrage and causing offence \u2013 sometimes over accuracy and facts. After the announcement that her contract had not been renewed, she tweeted an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/home\/article-5123073\/Jacqueline-Teale-apology.html\">apology the MailOnline<\/a> \u00a0published to Jacqueline Teale, who was wrongly targeted by Hopkins in a column. The MailOnline paid \u2018substantial damages and legal costs\u2019 to Teale as part of the apology.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 22px;\"><strong>4.\u00a0Buzzfeed cuts<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-110660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Buzzfeed.jpg\" alt=\"Buzzfeed\" width=\"760\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Buzzfeed.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Buzzfeed-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Buzzfeed-705x399.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Buzzfeed-450x255.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Buzzfeed-500x283.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><br \/>\nBuzzfeed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/blog\/buzzfeed-announces-staff-cuts\/\" target=\"_blank\">has announced<\/a> cuts to its global workforce including editorial and business roles at Buzzfeed UK.
