You heard of Russian collusion, which turned out to be fake news.

Now this is British collusion.

Labour DID send these people to the States. I don't get why people can't see this. 100 of them.

Not even close to being as racist as you. You're far more racist.

Because they're hypocrites. Not just any kind of hypocrites, but dangerous, egotistical ones.

It's obvious though isn't it Alf. The post made by Sofia Patel is all over the media. It hasn't been denied? Starmer is backpedalling like feck. I hope the inquiry results in them getting the book thrown at them?

Labour is sending almost 100 current and former party staff members to the US to help Democrats in swing states.

Activists from Sir Keir Starmer's party will spend almost three weeks campaigning for Kamala Harris ahead of the US election on November 5.

They will visit Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia - states that are crucial to Ms Harris' bid to win.

However, Republicans have described the plans as an “outrage” and warned they would damage the UK’s relationship with the US should Donald Trump win the presidency.

The Federal Election Commission, which regulates US elections, states that foreign volunteers may not donate money to campaigns or spend money on their behalf.

They cannot “participate in the decision-making process” but they may, however, participate in activities as an “uncompensated volunteer”.

Elon Musk reacted to the news on X, formerly Twitter, by saying: “This is illegal.”

I mean Elon musk is giving a million dollars to people who vote for Trump.

I actually do tbh, they’re supposed to be working for us, of course ‘officials’ going over or whatever is fine, because they’re not being paid to represent us.

But absolutely no surprises that Farage has completely shafted his constituency as expected

He is not in government so not sure what the point is here? I feel for America two pretty awful choices

Just not sure Elon musk is really the one to be telling anyone anything when he’s buying voters

We've always dabbled in each other's elections. Remember Obama coming to the UK and telling us, if we vote for Brexit we'd go to the back of the queue for a trade deal with the US? If that's not interfering I don't know what is.

Oh right, I dont follow American politics at all, its bad enough dealing with UK politicians

Elon is running a lottery for people signing up to vote for Trump. You're not allowed to "buy votes", but there are ways around it as Elon knows. He's giving away, apparently, a million dollars a day.

Good on him. What's your point?

Is your point that a citizen is giving his money away, therefore, it's OK for UK interference in a foreign election? Because that's what it sounds like.

You mean 100 people volunteered

No.

Why oh why do Labour think it's remotely acceptable to send 100 volunteers..... To support Kamala Harris


:think:

To clarify... in my opinion....Labour requested volunteers, that's how it sounds. Therefore they sent them. End of.

I personally agree with you on that.

But I'm only guessing tbf.

I agree with you on Farage.

I personally don't believe any political leaders should be influencing foreign elections.

What criminality has Joey defended?

No crime has been committed based on the evidence that we have so far.

Oh hey Mock.
Don't waste your time there.

It's bad enough that this thread is totally misleading lies.
In the way the heading and question is phrased.

Don't open yourself to unjustified criticism defending myself mate

Thanks Joey.:blush:

But I don't like anyone being accused of something that factually isn't true.
