Is Britain’s Labour Party interfering in the US election?

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. The campaign denounced Britain’s “far-left” governing party for attempting to subvert democracy by sending almost 100 of its activists across the pond to sway American voters.

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