GB News host Stephen Dixon spoke this morning to Jennifer Ewing, a British-based Californian and spokeswoman for Republicans Overseas UK, about the alleged “mass exodus”. He quizzed: “Are we seeing a wave of people heading over from the States, desperate to be British, to get away from Trump?”

Between March 2024 and March 2025, official statistics printed by the Home Office confirmed that more than 6,000 US residents utilized to transfer to Britain – the very best quantity since information started more than twenty years in the past. Nearly 2,000 of these citizenship bids have been submitted in the short few months since Donald Trump took workplace – so does Jennifer assume there’s a connection? The correspondent advised that Americans are warming to the “glamorous” tradition right here in Britain and having fun with high-profile occasions such as Wimbledon and Ascot.

She also advised that the UK had turn into a “top choice” for college students, while business pursuits stay a enormous draw too.

“Americans don’t understand: how can you be arrested or worse for praying silently?” she exclaimed, including: “In America we have the free speech 1st Amendment and we don’t have laws [against] free speech.”

However, over on X, one viewer shot back: “I’ve actually had conversations with Americans who have recently emigrated here. They think because we elected Labour that we’re a leftist country who doesn’t share the same views that MAGA does. Well they’ll soon be leaving once Reform is elected in 4 years time.”
