There is an unhappy history of left-wing Britons getting involved in US elections. Back in 2004, the Guardian – the flagship organ of the British left – organized a letter-writing campaign, urging voters in the swing state of Ohio not to re-elect George W. Bush. The good people of Ohio didn’t take kindly to a bunch of North Londoners telling them how to vote, and although the Guardian’s campaign probably can’t be given all the credit, the voters of Ohio duly went to the polls and swung firmly behind Bush.One wishes that London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s intervention in this week’s...

The BBC "doctored" Donald Trump's January 6 speech to make it appear that the US President was encouraging his supporters to riot in the Capitol, a leaked memo has revealed. The leaked 19-page dossier, which was shared with The Telegraph by a whistleblower, revealed that a Panorama programme broadcast a week before the 2024 US Presidential Election "completely misled" viewers by showing the 47th President telling his supporters he was going to walk to the Capitol with them to "fight like hell" against his 2020 defeat.

The BBC has been accused of selectively editing a Donald Trump speech to make it appear clearer that he encouraged the US Capitol attack, according to a former external adviser to the corporation. An edition of Panorama, broadcast a week before the US election, spliced together clips of a Trump speech made on 6 January 2021.

We fight like hell.” The words were taken from sections of his speech almost an hour apart. It...

Retired New Jersey Superior Court Judge Andrew Napolitano told Newsmax on Friday that British foreign intelligence agency MI6 might have been involved in the Signal imbroglio that has vexed the Trump administration. "This has really produced an uproar in the intelligence community," Napolitano said on "National Report." "The Guardian of London says — are you ready for this? — it was MI-6. It was the British intelligence that doesn't like Donald Trump that wanted to embarrass him. "All of this is a reason why, in my view, it was wrong for Attorney General [Pam] Bondi to say there's not going...

A British consultancy that compiled a salacious dossier linking Donald Trump to Russia has welcomed a UK High Court decision to throw out a lawsuit by the former US president. Orbis Business Intelligence - run by ex-MI6 officer Christopher Steele - said it was "delighted" by the ruling. Mr Trump had been seeking to use data protection laws to sue the company. Mr Steele's dossier contained unsubstantiated claims of bribery and sex parties. Funded by Hillary Clinton's Democrats and other political opponents of Mr Trump, the dossier was leaked to the media just before Mr Trump, a Republican, was sworn...
