Since the nation decided to back Brexit, secessionist groups from New England in the east to the Pacific Coast in the west have been inspired to throw off the yoke.

Across the pond in Texas, activists believe they could stand alone because their $1.6trillion a year economy would be one of the 10 largest in the world.

Momentum is gathering so much so, the hashtag #Texit and #Texodus is trending on social media site Twitter.

After the Brexit result came in on Friday last week, Daniel Millar, president of the Texas Nationalist Movement, called on Texas governor and Republican Greg Abbott to hold a referendum on leaving the US.

He said: “The Texas Nationalist Movement is formally calling on the Texas governor to support a similar vote for Texans.

“It is now important for Texas to look to #Brexit as an inspiration and an example that Texans can also take control of our destiny.

“It is time for Texans to rally with us and fight for the right to become a self-governing nation.”

Campaigners tried but failed to get a succession question on the ballot in November, but Mr Miller said Brexit had inspired him to try again in 2018.

He added: “Texit is in the air.”
