Donald Trump ... accusing the 'far-left' Labour Party of 'blatant foreign interference' in the US election.
Lawyers for the Republican presidential candidate have filed a complaint to the Federal Election Commission, accusing Labour of making 'illegal foreign campaign contributions' which was 'accepted' by Kamala Harris's campaign.
...
Mr Trump's camp cited a now-deleted post on LinkedIn by Sofia Patel, Labour's head of operations, which said 100 current and former staffers were going to be volunteering in battleground states such as North Carolina and Nevada.
Rules about foreigners working in US elections are strict and state that they must volunteer and cannot receive any payment.
...
Help from Labour could amount to an 'illegal foreign national contribution', wrote Gary Lawkowski, deputy general counsel for the Trump campaign.
That would be especially the case if 'foreign nationals' are 'exercising direction' over the Labour staffers as could well be the case, the document stated.
Campaign co-manager Susie Wiles said in a statement that Americans will 'once again reject the oppression of big government that we rejected in 1776', another nod to America's rejection of British rule.
...
The Harris campaign's acceptance and use of this illegal foreign assistance is just another feeble attempt in a long line of anti-American election interference'.
In comments that will likely be embarrassing for Sir Keir, Ms Wiles added that the 'far-left Labour Party has inspired Kamala's dangerously liberal policies and rhetoric'.
...
Richard Grenell, former US Acting Director of National Intelligence and former ambassador to Germany under Trump, told Newsnight last night: 'We don’t want to have any foreign interference in our elections... so I think this is a pretty open and shut case: don’t interfere in the American elections and you won’t be sued."

And the left accused Donald of being a Russian asset?! Talk about projection and hypocrisy!
Some Deep State judge will say Trump has “No Standing” in this and throw out the case.
So you’re telling us that the (D) Party cannot scrounge up US citizen volunteers to manage their campaign HQ? Pathetic, baby!
Uncle Sam always repays his friends...and enemies.
“Get your Limey butts OUT!”
Ding, ding, ding.
Nothing new about this, and it’s never been a one-way street. Labour has been helping Democrat candidates for years, and Republicans ditto for Tory candidates in UK elections.
We don't have two parties.
Neither do you.
But we both have Deep States, don't we.
Case in point from your side of the pond. Recently from the Beeb...

Note this bit on the perp...
"...of no fixed address, has been charged with attempted murder, with an application set to be made by police to amend the indictment following Ms Whyte's death..."
Now for the rest of the story...?
If that second one is true, well, that sounds familiar, doesn't it. Because it's happening here in the US, too.
Two parties, my arse.
Both countries are now controlled by their Deep States.
The difference between you and us, Winnie, is that we have a Trump.
You in the UK better get one, too, before it's too late.
Ping to my above reply.
The US election interference row tells us this: Starmer’s political compass urgently needs resetting
