However, during a NATO summit in London later in 2019 President Trump contradicted his earlier statement, saying the US wanted “nothing to do with” the NHS. The US election comes at a time when Health Secretary Wes Streeting has signalled he is open to greater involvement of profit-making firms in running the NHS. If Harris takes the White House it’s hard to argue there will be any direct impact on the NHS. Natasha Wynarczyk, Consumer Editor The US is the top travel destination for Brits outside of Europe, with 3.9 million visits last year. But in the event of a Donald Trump presidency, it could be harder for some Britons to travel to the US even if for a holiday. Trump is expected to be bringing back - and extending - the 'Muslim ban' from his first term. This barred people from seven countries including Iran, Syria and Sudan from entering the US. British people with dual nationalities from these countries are not allowed an ESTA for easy travel and would need to apply for a visa to visit the US. However, this can take a long time to come through - especially if the applicant is subject to extra screening which would be likely in this scenario. It is the same situation for people who have been to Cuba - a popular destination for British people - since January 2021. One small bit of good news for Britons is that the dollar has started falling as Trump has begun to slump in the polls, meaning a Harris victory could make our money stretch further on a holiday to the US. Melissa Sigodo, Community Reporter A Trump election victory would be a victory for bigots everywhere across the world. After a campaign filled with blatant racist remarks against Black people as well as Latin Americans, the trailer for what’s to come is nothing short of a horror film. But not only for the US, but for those of us in the UK whose politics mirrors this carnival of extreme racial hatred and bigotry. We are not far behind in the race to become a far-right nation which prides itself on white supremacy dressed up as patriotism. An unwelcoming nation which demonises those who come in search of refuge in a world increasingly more war-hungry. So although our current government isn’t blurting out overtly racist statements, a climate thriving in the US will undoubtedly push boundaries on what is accepted as the norm. But the UK can still resist the path that leads to destruction and refuse to dance to the tune. But only if it stays away from the rhetoric that sees Black and Brown people attacked in the street and tries to unite a country at a time when it needs it the most. A Harris victory would be a victory for the meantime. In a world that is more divided than ever, those who want to maintain power won’t take this lying down. The former President who oversaw years of destruction, has opened a Pandora’s box on bigotry and racism. He has normalised the rhetoric that once brought people shame and has made it mainstream enough to air on television, not only in the US but in the UK. Although Trump has lost his opportunity, several more “Trumps” are waiting in the wings to continue his legacy of hate here in Britain. Those who see him as a friend have set up their base as a political party in government by the name of Reform. We cannot forget that this year saw the former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called the P-word while racist rioting brought the country to a standstill. The pressure cooker is on for those who gained power by playing into the hands of racists wanting to “get their countries back" because now more than ever, they'll want to see it happen. While those who are disciples of Trump, will be waiting patiently for their chance to seize the moment. Top Stories
