Trump files complaint after 'far-left' Labour accused of 'blatant foreign interference' by 'helping' Harris

Susie Wiles, the Trump-Vance campaign co-manager, said: “In two weeks, Americans will once again reject the oppression of big Government that we rejected in 1776.

"The flailing Harris-Walz campaign is seeking foreign influence to boost its radical message – because they know they can’t win the American people.

“President Trump will return strength to the White House and put America, and our people, first.

"The Harris campaign’s acceptance and use of this illegal foreign assistance is just another feeble attempt in a long line of anti-American election interference."

The statement, which was released by the Trump campaign this evening, also accused Labour of being "far-left", adding that Sir Keir Starmer's party "inspired Kamala's dangerously liberal policies and rhetoric".

There is no evidence that the Labour Party had broken US law by making any financial contributions to Harris' campaign.

GB News understands individuals will pay for the trips in a personal capacity and in their own time.

While Labour does not pay for the trips, the People's Channel also understands that accommodation is being arranged by volunteers campaigning for the Democrats.

Trump's decision to file a complaint appears to come after a senior Labour figure urged staff to jet off the swing states ahead of November 5.

In a now-deleted post, the insider said: “I have nearly 100 Labour Party staff (current and former) going to the US in the next few weeks heading to North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

“I have 10 spots available for anyone available to head to the battleground state of North Carolina - we will sort your housing.”

Figures close to Starmer also met with Democrat strategists in Chicago in August.

Speaking to GB News about Labour's links with the Democrats, ex-MP Jonathan Ashworth said: "There are long-standing and deep links between the Labour Party and Democrats. Progressive parties the world over share campaign learnings in elections.

"Just as there are historic links between the Conservatives and Republicans. But our Labour Prime Minister has been steadfast in saying he will work with whoever the American people put in the White House."

Ashworth, who was among the Labour figures who met with Democrats in August, added: "Keir Starmer is driven by country first, party second and the special relationship will always be secure."

Pastor Mark Burns, who is a close ally of Trump, last week appeared to voice his concerns about Labour staffers campaigning for Harris.

He told GB News: "Kamala is struggling to win American votes, so she's now scraping the bottom of the barrel by having foreigners tell Americans how to vote."

Burns added: "The Labour Party desires a weaker America that pays for everything and leads from behind. That's why they support Kamala. I'm grateful that there are a lot of good British citizens who don't support the Labour Party and don't support this position."

Despite the Tory Party being split on the Trump versus Harris debate, ex-Justice Secretary Sir Robert Buckland also went campaigning for the Democrats.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage was forced to suspend initial plans to campaign for Trump after deciding to contest Clacton in the 2024 General Election.

Speaking after his victory in the Essex seaside seat, Farage said: "Clearly my priority has to be Clacton, has to be my job in Parliament and the party that I lead nationally, so I will not be there a huge amount."

However, the Brexit supremo accused Labour of "direct interference" over its rallying cry to party staff last week.

Reform UK leader Farage, a close ally of Republican Donald Trump, said: "This is direct election interference by the governing Labour Party, and particularly stupid if Trump wins."

Labour's growing rift with Republicans threatens to destabilise efforts taken by Starmer to establish a relationship with Trump ahead of November 5.

The Prime Minister met with the ex-President last month for a two-hour dinner in New York.

The pair, who were joined by Britain's Trump-critical Foreign Secretary David Lammy, looked to establish a relationship between the two countries ahead of November 5.

A UK Government source said Trump and Starmer had "discussed the longstanding friendship between the UK and the US and the importance of continuing to develop the strong and enduring partnership between our two countries".

Speaking ahead of their meeting, Trump said of the Prime Minister: "I actually think he’s very nice. He ran a great race, he did very well, it’s very early, he’s very popular."

However, Lammy had previously called the former President a "racist" and a "neo-Nazi sympathising sociopath".

Opinion polls suggest the 2024 White House race could be the closest ever, with FiveThirtyEight pointing to a shock tie in Electoral College votes.
