Donald Trump’s Vice President JD Vance slammed after details about his UK holiday are revealed

The Democratic Party have criticised JD Vance following reports of his UK-based holiday plans, claiming US residents can’t even ‘afford groceries right now’.

41-year-old Vance, who has served as the Vice President of the United States since he was sworn in alongside Donald Trump, 79, on January 20 of this year, is due to travel to parts of England and potentially Scotland this summer.

The Ohio native is said to be setting up shop at a Grade II-listed manor house in the Cotswolds right now, reportedly costing the Republican £8,000 per week, GloucestershireLive wrote.

There, he and his security detail will be rubbing shoulders with members of the ‘Chipping Norton Set’, like Elisabeth Murdoch, David Cameron and Rebekah Brooks.

The claim comes after some Americans admitted to taking loans out to afford basic necessities due to surging grocery prices, as per the BBC.

Regarding his upcoming stay in the Cotswolds, Father Fergus Butler-Gallie told The Telegraph that the South West English region is ‘a real place where real people live’.

“It is not a chocolate box. It is not Disneyland,” he added.

Jeremy Clarkson, who owns Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton, has also condemned Vance’s visit, calling the politician a ‘bearded God-botherer who pretty much thinks that women who've been raped should be forced to have the resultant child.’

"I've searched for the right word to describe him and I think it's t**t,” he wrote.

Vance, who has already navigated trips to Vermont, India, Greenland and Vatican City amid his first eight months in office, will stay in the affluent area with his wife, Usha, and their three young children.

Before hitting up the Cotswolds, he travelled to Foreign Secretary David Lammy’s Chevening House retreat in Kent, where he said the United States had ‘no plans to recognise a Palestinian state’.

“I don't know what it would mean to really recognise a Palestinian state, given the lack of a functional government there,” he claimed

The announcement comes after Labour Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer revealed the UK will recognise a Palestinian state in September unless Israel meets certain conditions, including agreeing to a ceasefire with Gaza.

Police in Scotland have also released a statement, claiming planning is currently ‘underway’ for a potential visit from the US Vice President.

“Details of any visit would be for the White House to comment on, however, it is important that we prepare in advance for what would be a significant policing operation,” they added.

It’s not currently known when or what part of Scotland Vance plans to visit.
