image for 'Racist ignorance': Brits clap back after Trump VP pick JD Vance calls UK a 'truly Islamist country'

Donald Trump's running mate Vice-President J.D. Vance has sparked outrage after remarking that the UK under the Labour government is an "Islamist country".

He went on to add, "To our Tory friends, I have to say, you guys have got to get a handle on this.".

This comes after Foreign Secretary David Lammy tried to mend ties with Vance in May when he was in the opposition.

Britain's Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner played down the controversy, saying the Ohio senator has made such "fruity" remarks in the past as well.

Tory Co-Chair Sayeeda Warsi wrote in The Independent that the UK-US ties have become nothing more than "a racist joke" and warned of "dangerous times ahead".

Shadow minister posts are positions held by the Opposition party members in the UK Parliament.

Canterbury Labour MP Rosie Duffield called Vance's remarks as "pretty ignorant, racist and Islamophobic". »
