Labour sends 100 activists including MP's to the US to campaign for Harris

[Weihrauch17]

Surely this is illegal as well as unethical?

Who is paying for it?

When Trump wins I imagine it will severely impact our relations with the USA.

Once again total and utter stupidity from this party full of Cretins.

[Smudger687]

Why is anyone surprised? Those that are pulling the strings of Keir are also pulling the strings of Harris. 

None of us live freely; tyranny and corruption are rampant on the Earth. There's no nice way out of this.

Headline in the Daily Telegraph but sat behind a Pay Wall, not so in the Express (also reported on GB News).

It is illegal and they would face 5 years in jail so they have cancelled it.

The question needs to be asked "Was this a reciprocal action?"

I think a few more questions than that need to be asked 

[Edtwozeronine]

I saw a video about it on the Reasoned YouTube channel, seems we're taking lessons from the Russians on interfering in other countries elections.

[JohnfromUK]

News reports this morning (BBC) that the Republican team has lodged a formal complaint today against the (British) Labour Party for interference in their election.

The USA have interfered more that anyone.

If Trump wins, he’ll neither forgive nor forget this personal insult by the UK Govt. 
One wonders if Trump told 2TK and Mastermind Lammy what are his views of them when they met in NYC recently and so Labour decided they may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb.

Can you imagine if Trump sent a  team over for the UK elections ?
The fact is, under US election law, there should be no foreign interference, obviously labour, being thick, couldnt quite get this round their woke heads.

Quote, The Labour UK Govenment 🤔 It is an absolute disgrace, Those that funded, And those that went to the USA, I hope Trump brings a Case against all of those involved

It comes to pass that the Labour Party paid to send Starmer’s Chief of Staff, Morgan McSweeney, to the Democratic Convention. 

Labour could not tell the truth if their lives depended on it.

Didnt stop the dems of accusing pretty much that anyway 

[Vince Green]

Apparently it's been going on for years. It still doesn't make it right and questions have to be asked. Another own goal for Starmer

[Pushkin]

Whatever is this country cvoming to?  Surely this would be election interference going from one country to another - one -if not the most stupidest moves by any part in the last 30 or so years, what a ridiculous thing to do.  Mark my words though, these people who choose to go will have their cards marked as will the governments for supporting another country's government to try and manipulate votes.  A right bunch of "Quislings" each and every one of them.  Will this mark me down for hate speech now???

This is a story about nothing. Truss, Johnson and Farage have all campaigned for Trump. Farage did it with Reform money. It's a classic Trump rant about nothing.

The problem for Labour is that when in opposition they said they would be squeaky clean if they got power. They now have power and are dipping their noses in just about any trough they can find. Interfering with elections, gifts, freebies, reneging on manifesto promises. How much lower can they sink? The last Tory Government was poor, but streets ahead of this thick bunch.

They certainly need to sort out their PR. They have a great story to tell with the work they are doing so early on but they are not getting the message out. 

That said this so called support for Harris is just not a story.

I'm sure none of us fell for that one!

They have a lot of explaining (and dare I say apologising) to do (assuming rumours are true) about why they are splashing big salary rises around the powerful Unions (Rail, Health etc), why they are moving the goal posts about limits on borrowing - thus (as always with Labour) mortgaging out next generation's future), why they are discouraging pensions savings, why they are releasing prisoners only to have them re-offend and be recalled to prison,   ...............  etc.

There will be a story to tell about how they stop the boats arriving IF they ever do, but don't hold your breath.

There is no apology required for picking up dog poo.
