The US is engaging in “extreme rightwing tropes” with echoes of the 1930s and threatening “chilling” interference in European democracies, British MPs warned ministers on Thursday.

The House of Commons rounded on Donald Trump’s national security strategy, which stated that Europe was facing “civilisational erasure” and vowed to help the continent “correct its current trajectory and promote patriotic European parties”.

Matt Western, a Labour MP and chair of parliament’s joint committee on the UK government’s national security strategy, said: “The United States consensus that has led the western world since the second world war appears shattered.

“The prospect of United States interference in the democratic politics of Europe, I believe, is chilling … The absence of condemnation for Russia is extraordinary, though not surprising.” He said the US pivot left the UK “especially vulnerable”.

Liam Byrne, another Labour MP and chair of the business select committee, said it was “not hard to see the rhymes with some extreme rightwing tropes which date back to the 1930s” and called for closer defence cooperation with Europe.

Keir Starmer and his ministers have been cautious not to criticise Trump and have sought to play down the implications of the strategy document.

insisted repeatedly on Thursday that the US “remains a strong, reliable and vital ally for the UK” and that ministers agreed with some aspects of the strategy, “like the importance of sustaining freedom and security”.

She told the Commons that the UK government did “take a different view” than the US “on some areas”, including on European strength and the value of multiculturalism.

That's rich:

Britain’s prime minister rejects a claim by the Trump campaign about election interference

"A statement on Trump’s website on Tuesday night said an official complaint had been filed with the Federal Election Commission against the Labour Party and the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris alleging “illegal foreign campaign contributions and interference in our elections.”

The complaint referred to media reports about meetings between Labour and Democrat officials, and a now-deleted LinkedIn post in which a Labour staffer said there were “nearly 100 Labour Party staff (current and former) going to the U.S. in the next few weeks” to swing states."

And as we know, the Guardian has been 100% correct on everything they’ve printed. /s

Kind of weird to have viciously antisemitic European socialists making these claims about us.

“including on European strength and the value of multiculturalism”

Yet the EU folks do not really believe in “multiculturalism”. They have been setting about using “rights” and so called “hate speech” laws to dictate a EU mandated mono-culture that dictates speech and “values” by government dictat, not by what free and freedom respecting folks might chose on their own and freely agree to disagree on.

The United Kingdom is the ONLY country in the world that puts people in jail for Thought crimes. The only one.

So don’t lecture us about “democratic politics of Europe”, you filthy scumbag cockroach. /spit

We would rather be ruled by communist’s and Muslims then be considered right wing.

That is only temporary. When the muslims win, the communists will be suppressed, women will be kinder, kuche und kirche only, homosexuals will be given opportunities to try their flight skills, and little boys and girls will be introduced to the "Aisha" lifestyle.

I don't like the Leftist Guardian but I know Trump seems to like to mettle in other nation's affairs outside of things like treaty agreements sometimes but I don't know of any specific examples.

United States interference in the democratic politics of Europe
