American political commentator Charlie Kirk has described Britain as "a husk of its former self" during an interview with GB News.
The founder of Turning Point USA delivered a scathing assessment of the UK's current state as he claimed American conservatives increasingly view Britain as "a conquered country" lacking firm opposition to restore it to greatness.
This comes after JD Vance made claims earlier this month that free speech is "in retreat" in the UK and Europe and there had been a "backside" of rights for religious Britons.
Kirk told GB News: "I mean as a country, and I'll get to the government, this place is a husk of its former self.

"This place seems to be trying to get its mojo back. This is the place that split the atom, invented the steam engine, and brought common law to the world.
"Unfortunately, the perception among American conservatives is that this is increasingly a conquered country, and that there is not a firm opposition trying to bring Britain back to greatness.

"If you come in with a British accent, we take you more seriously. My friend Steve Hilton, who was an advisor to Cameron, is literally running for governor of California.
"We love this country from afar, and we're really sad about what's happening to it, and what has happened to it. I think there's a potential political revolution that can happen here.

"There is mass repression. Here is why, people are coming up to me quietly. Me, as an American who they follow on social media. Charlie, I love what you're doing, I wish I could speak out against it.

During the same GB News interview, Kirk vowed to contact figures in the Trump administration regarding the case of Lucy Connolly, who recently lost an appeal against her 31-month prison sentence.
Connolly was jailed for inciting racial hatred following an online post about migrants after the Southport attacks.
"I think she just had her petition denied", Kirk said. "It's so outrageous."
