But thats the biggest news source in the US!

I think you raise an interesting point though, which is media. If you look at it from a media figure angle, maybe, but politically, legally, and socially, definitely not. Though even the former did originate at least in part in the US, both through the actions of American anti-LGBT groups and through people taking inspiration from the anti-trans actions under Trump and in red states. Again, not to say all is well in the UK, but there isnt half the country and a head of state with an express desire to effectively genocide trans people. Trump literally said he wanted to legislate trans people out of existence, its eliminationist rhetoric that is currently rare but I worry may pick up.

I think in general people dont realise how much the US attempts to directly influence other countries. Here in Ireland, during the abortion referendum campaign you could not move for American anti-abortion campaigners. Luckily they failed, but the current political climate in the US is a menace that goes far outside its borders.
