The Trump campaign filing an official complaint about Labour Party activists working for Harris (as 'foreign election interference') is somewhat hypocritical. Given they have a sitting MP and UK party leader on the stump, plus an (albeit briefly) Prime Minister speaking at conventions on his behalf. |  |

Isn't foreign interference when it is much more subtle rather than someone clearly presenting their views whilst openly representing the country they are from?
If Putin said "I would like Farage to win in the UK elections" that wouldn't be a problem would it? If he engages in an electronic campaign that sends disinformation to voters in the UK that would be foreign interference.
Similarly, if he publically stated that he would invade Moldova if they joined the EU that would be within his right to say. However, paying voters to vote against joining it would be interference.
But then again, Trump never has worried about the difference between what is and isn't right, only what suits his purposes and doesn't. |  |

Orange man bad |
I don't think we need Northern Irish sectarianism brought into this. |  | | |

it's a tricky one, and blown out of all proportion as is usual with trump's hyperbole and lies.
however, i wonder if countries should be less neutral? some things transcend national boundaries and will have a negative effect on people in the uk (climate change, isolationism, punitive trade tarriffs etc), so where's the line? |
Countries have always taken an active position on the governments of their neighbours, allies and rivals. It's simple self-interest.
It's just in this case, the USA has specific laws on election interference. | |

You aren't wrong.
But the Labour party might be wise to stop picking fights with the man who is likely about to become President, again.
In that vein I also noted reports on the radio that Starmer had dinner with Trump last month and that he claims they have a good relationship. |
Starmer being pragmatic. There is a fair chance he'll be having to deal with the madman come January.
Feel sorry for him, really. I wouldn't want to sit and watch the oaf spluttering ketchup everywhere, listening to his latest weave. | |

The sitting MP just happens to represent the same "sane" views as anyone else may have - i.e. we need more business , more entrepreneurs , less tax and less benefits - we also need to stop China sending trillions of plastic crap around the world i.e. tariffs and we need Europe to pay what it owes ? for defense ? It would also be handy - and I say this as someone going through potentially the long , expensive and arduous process of applying to move to the USA- if illegal immigrants were not allowed into the USA ? Apart from that with KARLMARXA Harris as opposition whats not to love about Trump .. superb guy |
Wtf have I just read. |  | | |
