Oops ......
Donald Trump's campaign has filed a complaint to the US Federal Election Commission (FEC) accusing the UK's Labour Party of "blatant foreign interference" in the election.
The complaint cites media reports about meetings between Labour and the Harris campaign, as well as volunteering efforts by Labour activists in the US.
US law states foreign nationals can't be paid to take part in campaign activity.
The Trump campaign's complaint points to a LinkedIn post from Sofia Patel, Labour's head of operations, in which she said nearly 100 current and former staff members would be going to the US.
The post said there were "10 spots available" for anyone who wanted to join them and that "we will sort your housing".
In a statement announcing the FEC complaint, the Trump campaign says "the far-left Labour Party has inspired Kamala’s dangerously liberal policies and rhetoric".
It adds: "When representatives of the British government previously sought to go door-to-door in America [a reference to the American War of Independence], it did not end well for them."
As a reminder, Labour Party leader - and UK prime minister - Keir Starmer says volunteers are heading to the US in their spare time.
