Yvette Cooper was all smiles as she greeted Donald Trump on his arrival in Britain - despite her having previously labelled the US President 'ignorant' and 'dangerous'.The Foreign Secretary met Mr Trump and his wife, Melania, after they stepped off Air Force One at London Stansted airport last night.RAF personnel from The King's Colour Squadron also formed a guard of honour as the US President arrived for his historic second state visit to the UK.But the warm welcome afforded to Mr Trump by Ms Cooper was a far cry from her past comments about the Republican politician.Similar to David Lammy - her predecessor as Foreign Secretary - as well as other senior Labour figures, Ms Cooper was a frequent critic of Mr Trump during his first term in the White House.She branded him 'disgraceful' and 'irresponsible' at a time when Labour were in opposition.Ms Cooper also claimed Mr Trump had built his first campaign for the US presidency on 'vitriol and abuse', as she also hit out at 'aggressive misogyny' and 'xenophobia'.She even hit out at the previous Tory government for giving Mr Trump a 'red carpeted' welcome to Britain during his first state visit in June 2019.'Doesn't help Britain to be lavishing pomp on a President so determined to be divisive, childish & destructive,' she posted on social media at the time. Now she is installed in the Foreign Office - and following her warm greeting for Mr Trump on Tuesday - critics noted that Ms Cooper had made a 'full recovery' from 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'. Yvette Cooper was all smiles as she greeted Donald Trump on his arrival in Britain - despite her having previously labelled the US President 'ignorant' and 'dangerous' The Foreign Secretary met Mr Trump and his wife, Melania, after they stepped off Air Force One at London Stansted airport last night RAF personnel from The King's Colour Squadron also formed a guard of honour as the US President arrived for his historic second state visit to the UKIn one social post written by Ms Cooper, from July 8, 2017, little more than six months after Mr Trump's first inauguration, she claimed: 'We are forgetting to be disturbed by Trump, he is normalising hatred and it's dangerous'.She also quoted from her speech to The Fabians think tank, in which she said: 'The leader of the free world built his campaign for the presidency on vitriol and abuse.'The aggressive misogyny, the violent language towards Hillary Clinton, the Islamophobia, the xenophobia, the hatred.'And he hasn't stopped since he got into the Oval Office.' Ms Cooper added of Mr Trump's social media posts attacking the media and the US judiciary: 'These aren't just harmless rants from a sad man in his bedroom.'This is the bully pulpit of the most powerful man on the planet.'Ms Cooper had also been a fierce critic of Mr Trump prior to his first successful election campaign.After Mr Trump called for a 'a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the US', Ms Cooper posted on Twitter on 8 December 2015: 'Appalled by the ignorant & islamophobic statement from Trump.'He may like to shock, but this isn't a game, it is irresponsible & dangerous.'On 21 January 2017, which was the first full day of Mr Trump's first term in the White House, Ms Cooper took part in a Women's March in London.Protesters marched from the US embassy to Trafalgar Square in the capital, with Ms Cooper telling the rally: 'When the most powerful man in the world says it's okay to sexually assault women because you are rich and powerful, we have to stand up and say no way.'In another of her social media posts, from 14 February, 2017, Ms Cooper referred to the Trump administration's 'unstable behaviour' regarding Russia and said that it 'must surely alarm' then-prime minister Theresa May.She added: 'Raises real issues for security cooperation'.Of the then-Tory premier, she again wrote on 13 July, 2018: 'Trump's appalling behaviour makes me sympathise with Theresa May.'But Ms Cooper then went on to tell Mrs May to 'stand up' to Mr Trump.'Til I remember her desperate rush to invite him, her repeated reluctance to criticise his Muslim ban or caging of children, her chasing him for a bad trade deal...For God's sake Theresa, stand up to him today,' she added.In a separate post, Ms Cooper referred to Mr Trump's 'unleashing of white supremacists'.She wrote on 15 August, 2017: 'Trump unleashing of white supremacists in US is beyond awful, but problem not just him when prejudice & hatred so often fanned and fueled.'On 3 June 2019, Ms Cooper lashed out at the welcome afforded to Mr Trump on his first state visit to Britain, during which he clashed with Labour's London mayor Sadiq Khan.She posted: 'So appalled Theresa May has given this man a red carpeted platform to do this.'Doesn't help Britain to be lavishing pomp on a President so determined to be divisive, childish & destructive.'Doesn't help US or world to be gifting him a whole load of Royal photo ops to use next yr.'Mr Lammy, who was Foreign Secretary until he was replaced by Ms Cooper in a Cabinet reshuffle earlier this month, was also an outspoken critic of Mr Trump during his first term in the White House.In November last year, Mr Lammy attempted to brush off the impact of his past criticism of Mr Trump.He insisted he had a good relationship with the returning US President, despite having once branded him a 'woman-hating, neo-Nazi sympathising sociopath'.Mr Lammy came under fire over tweets he made while he was an opposition MP, in which he said Mr Trump was a 'tyrant in a toupee' and lacked the brains to pass GCSE exams.But Mr Lammy last year branded the social media posts 'old news', telling the BBC: 'I think that what you say as a backbencher and what you do wearing the the real duty of public office are two different things.'And I am Foreign Secretary. There are things I know now that I didn't know back then, and that's the truth of it.'What have top Labour ministers said about Trump in the past?Sir Keir StarmerSir Keir declared himself to be 'anti-Trump but pro-American' in 2021.In 2023, the Labour leader compared the Conservative Party with Mr Trump as he accused the Tories of falling far from Churchillian values.'Is there anybody in the Government now who feels a sense of obligation to anything other than their own self-interest? To democracy, the rule of law, serving our country?,' he asked in a speech in Buckinghamshire.'An entitlement to power totally unchecked by any sense of service or responsibility – that's the cultural stain that runs through the modern Conservative Party.'He added: 'These aren't Churchill's Tories any more. If anything they behave more and more like Donald Trump. They look at the politics of America and they want to bring that here.'It's all woke, woke, woke. Wedge, wedge, wedge. Divide, divide, divide.'In June last year, the Prime Minister said following Mr Trump's hush money trial conviction that it was an 'unprecedented situation'.'We will work with whoever is elected president … that's what you'd expect,' Sir Keir said.'We have a special relationship with the US that transcends whoever the president is, but it is an unprecedented situation, there is no doubt about that.' Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer declared himself to be 'anti-Trump but pro-American' in 2021David LammyIn 2017, Mr Lammy called Mr Trump a 'racist and KKK/neo-Nazi sympathiser'.A year later, the Tottenham MP wrote in Time magazine that he would be protesting against the then-government's 'capitulation to this tyrant in a toupee', in reference to Mr Trump's first official visit to the UK.'Trump is not only a woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath,' Mr Lammy wrote.'He is also a profound threat to the international order that has been the foundation of Western progress for so long.'Asked about his past comments, Mr Lammy said last year: 'Where I can find common cause with Donald Trump, I will find common cause'.Wes StreetingIn 2017, Mr Streeting called Trump an 'odious, sad little man' in a post on X.'Imagine being proud to have that as your president,' he added.Ed MilibandMr Miliband labelled Mr Trump a 'groper' and a 'racist' in November 2016.'The idea that we have shared values with a racist, misogynistic, self-confessed groper beggars belief,' Mr Miliband told the BBC.'And I think we should be deeply worried about the implications for many of the things that we care about.'Tackling climate change – he says it's invented by the Chinese, climate change, it's a hoax. His attitude to Russia.'And then this fantasy about trade. I mean, this guy is anti-trade. He's an odd combination of protectionism, plus the old trickle-down formula that has got us into a lot of this mess in the first place.'
