Vice-President JD Vance has said there is something very broken about British politics and that he hopes Andy Burnham can figure out how to get Britain back on track. He has spoken exclusively to Katy Balls for the Sunday Times.

They also discussed:



  • Social media spats: does he regret the childless cat ladies comment?
  • His faith and how it's changed him.
  • And has Donald Trump read his book?
