Furthermore, this has gone on for decades anyhow.
The thread title is NOT fact, Labour sent NO one to the USA.
Just as the Cons never have either.

Betty Boothroyd, successful Labour MP and first female speaker of the Commons.

Was a Labour member and candidate in general elections.
However not elected until later.
She in 1960 went independently to the USA to canvass for John Kennedy.

Are people so ignorant of politics they can't make their own minds up instead of just always believing the trash and misleading agenda called news by the media.

I note the silence that it appears it's fine for an elected leader of Reform in Farage to go and support Trump though.
How hypocritical.

This is actually a very interesting point.

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

Senpai? I like that term for Farage's view of Trump.

Re Sofia Patel.

She invited Labour staffers to contact her at the email address “labourforkamala@gmail.com” and told volunteers that Labour will be providing housing while the operatives campaign for Harris in the U.S.

The Labour Party head of operations did not specify whether the program is an official Labour Party initiative and did not provide details on exactly how volunteers will be helping the Harris campaign — or who’s paying for it all.

She also failed to mention whether they will be coordinating directly with the Harris campaign.

The Maine Wire reached out to the email address provided, requesting details on the program, but Patel did not respond.

In addition to deleting the post, Patel appears to have removed her entire LinkedIn account.

The Labour initiative quickly drew outrage from many on the U.K.’s right.

I'm adding this question.
Is it reasonable for ANY supporter, member of or elected representative of ANY UK political Party to go to the USA to support any candidates there.

Of ALL the Parties of the UK that is.
Not just one.

Here's what Keir said.

Asked if the complaint risked jeopardising his relationship with Trump if he becomes president again, the prime minister said: “No. I spent time in New York with President Trump, had dinner with him and my purpose in doing that was to make sure that between the two of us we established a good relationship, which we did, and we’re grateful for him for making the time.”

“We had a good, constructive discussion and, of course as prime minister of the United Kingdom I will work with whoever the American people return as their president in their elections which are very close now.”

The complaint cited a now-deleted LinkedIn post by Labour’s head of operations, which said almost 100 current and former party officials were travelling to the US to campaign for the Democrats in swing states including North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The post added that there were 10 spots still available and promised that “we will sort your housing”.

So.

Where does he say they were sent by Labour.

The complainant is Trump's team
Who have also cited the Russians as interference too.

He'll be blaming half the World if he loses again just like he did in 2020

What on earth does your post above prove.
Plus having somewhere to stay doesn't mean paying for it.
It's not from the Labour Party.
It's organised by individuals acting independently.

You just keep pedalling this nonsense while leaving your thread title that the Labour party sent them.
Utter nonsense and I'll say again disgraceful.

[Kate!]

It absolutely is from the Labour Party

It was Labour's Head Of Operations Sofia Patel who said it.

Here.....

Here it is again. To clarify.

The post added that there were 10 spots still available and promised that “we will sort your housing”

It's clearly been deleted to try and cover up. In my opinion.

I have enough of an idea to be confident in what I have said.

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]

Can we all agree that this is a bop.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!!!

I wonder what would happen to their party membership if they went across to canvass for trump!
