A BBC Question Time audience member savaged Labour in a fiesty question on tonight's show.

The moment which left Labour frontbencher Lucy Powell squirming came as the panel debated whether God saved Donald Trump to "save the world".

The woman said: "If God did decide to save Donald Trump in order for him to make America and the American people great again, does the Labour Government and Keir Starmer ever think they'll put Britain and the British people first eventually?"

Ms Powell replied: "On the question I'm not going to really get into the motives of God, that's definitely above my pay grade.

"On the wider issue of the relationship with Donald Trump and opinions on Donald Trump... Donald Trump was elected with a very clear mandate, with a very clear agenda, and he won that election pretty clearly.

"He's got every right to run the country and make the decisions on the basis of having won that election as he sees fit and what he thinks is the right approach for his country.

"As we were elected six months ago with a clear mandate for change and we have every right to run our country the way that we do."

It comes after Mr Trump declared that he was "saved by God to make America great again" at his inauguration on Monday.

The US President was referring to an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania in July.

Meanwhile, Labour has seen support plummet since its landslide electon win six months ago.
