JD Vance’s trip to the UK has seen him dine with a number of right wing figures, from Reform leader Nigel Farage to Cambridge academic James Orr

US Vice President JD Vance's UK holiday has sparked discontent among some locals, and his security has been accused of carrying out door-to-door checks.

JD Vance ’s team have denied knowing about any efforts from police to collect social media information from residents near where he spent his Cotswolds holiday. Locals near the Hamlet of Dean, near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, have claimed police had been door-to-door asking for personal details of residents and social media accounts.

JD Vance has been captured being driven through Chipping Norton during his stay in the Cotswolds. The US Vice President is staying at Dean Manor, about a mile away from Chipping Norton, for the next week. In typical American fashion, the 41-year-old was driven through the quiet Cotswold town along with more than 20 other SUVs and vans.

JD Vance hasn't exactly endeared himself to the good people of the Cotswolds, after he spent some time off in the English region.

The vice president is the most high-profile recent American visitor to the Cotswolds, an idyll that locals say is being disrupted by too many Yanks.

There are plenty of still (relatively) undiscovered Cotswolds spots to enjoy amazing food, lovely views and great shopping, according to a resident from Chipping Norton.
