Astonishing UK government minister blames Trump for racism crisis

Eagle highlighted that Trump’s rhetoric, particularly on social media, has contributed to a global environment where racism is more readily accepted. She pointed to the UK’s Conservative Party’s adoption of similar anti-immigrant narratives, particularly in response to the right-wing Reform UK party led by Nigel Farage, a Trump ally. According to Eagle, this shift in discourse has not only marginalized asylum seekers but also signaled to racists that their views might be socially permissible, thereby normalizing overt expressions of racism on British streets.
