Why American celebrities ‘escaping’ Trump by fleeing to Britain may be in for a big surprise

Since Trump began his second term, Britain has become a political escape hatch for American celebrities and wealthy Democrats.

It’s so popular that last week, the British Home Office released data showing that in the 12 months leading up to March, almost 7,000 US citizens applied to become British subjects or live here indefinitely — the highest number since such records began in 2004.

A third of those applications have been received since Trump took office at the start of 2025.
