Yes exactly.
It's individuals by choice wanting to go.

No elected representatives just ordinary people who happen to be members of a Party.

It's happened for decades Ammi.
My fury is, no one has complained when it was from the Cons, or other Parties, Inc UKIP when it was UKIP.
Nor any complaint Farage, now leader of UKIP MK3 in Reform.

Yes you are right however, that is how it usually works.

How hypocritical.

Nige following his senpai around is a little different to sending scores of door-knockers to swing states.

The LinkedIn post says 100 current and former party officials. It was there in black and white till they conveniently deleted it.

It’s hilarious to watch someone be so indignant on a subject they have no idea about :joker:

Oh hang on you can't check it, it's been deleted I think.

So what???
She's not an elected MP.

What she supports personally and independently is up to her asong as it's not illegal.
No matter the status as a member she's NOT an elected MP.
So what's your inference.

Either you are still insistent in your thread title that LABOUR SENT these people.
Which is absolutely misleading in that very wording.
Or you are also accusing that woman of wrongdoing from her personal position.

You, ONLY YOU made this thread and presented the title as fact.
I don't need to check it out, I could have gone myself and was tempted to as I'd do just about anything to not have Trump.back as President.

So had I actually gone over, just WHAT would you have been ACCUSING me of Kate.
When all Id have been doing is what YOUR Party leader has done in the last 3 elections for Trump.

Yet the Republicans in elections past have had support from political supporters from the UK in past USA elections too.

It's the title of this thread I am furious about.
In saying Labour SENT these people.
These are people immaterial of their status as members who are NOT elected and independently wanted to go by choice.
NOT sent by any Party.

Because the thread title is misleading in its format and question.
IN MY OPINION.
The opening post acting like both judge and jury too.

Oh, he is very deranged I agree with you on that.:laugh:

And I had a feeling that you were bothered by the title primarily.

So Sofia Patel is not an MP?

I'm casual with my Politics, so I'm just trying to keep up.

What?
Officiais are not elected MPs !!!!!???

They have independent lives too.

There's no difference either to Farage going to help Trump get elected.
It's exactly the same thing.
Whether they're friends or not.
Plus he IS an elected MP and was also an Elected member of the European Parliament too.

I actually wouldn't personally object if MPs even went to support there anyhow.
So I'm.not even condemning Farage for doing so.
Unlike you with other Parties volunteers independently doing so.

She is the Head Of Operations. She's in a position of authority. She confirmed 100 current and former party officials had been dispatched.

You're being rather obtuse Joey. How many times should I quote her?

I wouldn't be ACCUSING you of anything. Yet again...my thread title and OP were posed.as questions? Why can't you seem to get this?

Officials ARE representatives of the Labour Party. It does not look good for 100 of them to firmly endorse one candidate over another. It is interference. That's my point.

Kate! 24-10-2024 07:19 AM

Why then are Labour hellbent on these Officials door knocking for Kamala? Is it because she's a pushover and inconsistent in her policies? She seems to say whatever it takes to try and get the votes. Can she walk the walk? Doubt it. Labour dint want to have to deal with Trump, that's what it boils down to. IN MY OPINION.

Mystic Mock 24-10-2024 07:20 AM

Can we all agree that this is a bop.

So what'?

She still has her independent life and can do what she likes as long as it's legal.
Like the rest of us

Her work for LABOUR like with all other members, doesn't mean she cannot engage in personal and independent other activities.

Or have you something against this particular individual to still be insisting rather than her.
That it's Labour who sent these volunteers over.
The volunteers didn't go by their OWN choice.

You can quote her all you like.
That doesn't make your accusations against the Labour party anymore valid though in your thread title.

Why don't you ask.
Is it reasonable acceptable for Reform Leader to go to canvass for Trump in USA elections.
If you can't see the hypocrisy I hope others will.

Viz 24-10-2024 07:22 AM

The word "officials" keeps being used by disingenuous actors.

The wording was actually "100 Labour Party staff (current and former)". Nothing about "officials" that is somehow regurgitated. (Staff being butchers, bakers, candlestick makers)

Goes to show what misinformation does I suppose.

Viz 24-10-2024 07:24 AM

I made a cup of tea for Diane Abbott back in 2015. I suppose that makes me a "Labour Official" too according to this thread. :laugh:

It isn't hypocrisy. Like Oliver said there's a world of difference between Nigel helping Trump and 100 actual representatives going to doorknock for Kamala.

So if there's nothing wrong with that, how come there's an enquiry ongoing? It's interference.

Glenn. 24-10-2024 07:26 AM

What is the problem with people doing that in their own time?

Regardless of whether they are officials or staff they are STILL representative of the Labour Party and as such it is totally inappropriate for them to doorknock for Kamala. That's what's being investigated. That's the whole point of the thread.

Because they are doing it in the capacity of being Labour representatives of course? It is just not right to endorse one particular candidate.

I don't think you understand what the difference is between claiming "100 Labour officials" (lol) and "100 current and former Labour staff" is in regards to this situation. If you are happy to learn the difference between those terms then I am happy to continue with the conversation.

Oliver_W 24-10-2024 07:35 AM

Another misleading comment there.
They are not Labour representatives over there, they are there from their own choice.
That's a shocking slur on their efforts and free choice.

I can see why you support Trump.

The complainant is Trump and his team only.
How then is it really right in that case for a leader of a UK Party to endorse Trump in the same election.

If it's fine for him, it's fine for others.
Or would it not matter you if these volunteers had gone over WITH Farage to endorse and support Trump.
Would you have made this misleading thread on a public forum then in that case against Farage and Reform.

If anyone's not listening here Kate, it's certainly not me who isn't!!!
