The Prime Minister's attack on Donald Trump was heard by a handful of diplomats - with vacant seats far outnumbering the officials in the audience.

It comes just a day after French President Emmanuel Macron drew a much larger audience to hear him speak to the UN General Assembly, held this week in New York.

And it was packed to the rafters as Donald Trump delivered his 'rocket man' speech yesterday.

But Mrs May can take some solace in the fact that EU chief Donald Tusk's audience was similarly thin
