Keir Starmer can’t even fly to Samoa without another international British embarrassment breaking out. The latest is an angry accusation from Donald Trump’s campaign that Labour is committing the crime of “election interference” in the United States. “The British are coming!” screamed a typically camp Trump-Vance official press release last night.

Freddy Gray speaks to James Heale, The Spectator’s political correspondent.
