The home secretary — who has previously criticised the US president — said the snub was 'odd' as it emerged his predecessor Amber Rudd was invited to past state banquets.
A fresh row has broken out over Downing Street’s failure to invite Sajid Javid to last week's state banquet at Buckingham Palace with President Trump, as it emerged that previous home secretaries did receive invitations to other state visits.on Thursday morning why he wasn’t invited to the palace for the banquet hosted by the queen, Javid replied: “I don’t know. I’ve asked but I don’t know. I was told that normally home secretaries aren’t invited”.
But at the two state banquets held during his predecessor Amber Rudd’s tenure as home secretary — with the president of Colombia in November 2016 and the King of Spain in July 2017 — she did receive an invitation and attend. Asked by the BBC how he felt about the snub, Javid said: “I don’t like it. It is odd. My office did ask Number 10 and they said no”.
