Trump accuses UK's Labour Party of 'foreign interference' files FEC complaint
Donald Trump's campaign has filed a Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint against the UK's Labour Party, accusing it of "blatant foreign interference" in the US election in aid of the Harris-Walz campaign. The complaint cites media reports about contact between Labour and the Harris campaign as well as apparent volunteering efforts, arguing that this amounts to illegal "contributions".
The BBC understands that Labour activists campaigning in the US presidential election are doing so in a personal capacity. The Labour Party has not issued an official response.
Specifically, the complaint cites newspaper reporting that Labour-linked individuals have travelled to the US to campaign for Harris. That reporting, the complaint alleges, creates a "reasonable inference that the Labour Party has made, and the Harris campaign has accepted, illegal foreign national contributions."

I was just watching the BBC news when this was reported and everyone seemed to be quite incredulous.

Yeah, ok but it is 100% A-ok for Elon and Thiel to funnel MILLIONS of dark money into Trump and the GOP.

Yes, yes. But it's only a problem when our opponents do anything we don't like R7.
Also - that never happened. FAKE NEWS!

It was fine when Nigel Farage spoke at a 2020 Trump rally in Arizona, right?

He's insufferable and will say or do anything for attention. Who the fuck wants four more years of this?

If a handsome Brit comes to my door to try to convince me to vote for Kamala, I’ll invite him in. He doesn’t need to know that I already plan to vote blue.

Trump has zero interest in being President. He want to get elected firstly, to avoid his trials, and secondly, to wreak revenge. He'll golf constantly and make outrageous tweets on the hour, every day, to stay at the forefront of the news cycle 24-7.

Just making shit up to say - both sides have influence from foreign governments!
He got caught on tape talking to Putin the last few years - he wants to do anything to distract or diminish this.
I really don't see what the Labour party can do with assistance - Kamala has raised over a billion dollars and we're a huge country with a lot of active Dem members.

Trump always accuses his opponent of his own misdeeds.
Muddies the water.
