To be honest out in the real world not met or heard one single person mention it, don't think anyone could care less whether some people from the Labour party have helped campaign against Trump.The only people losing their heads are the bitter, rancid, right wing Tories desperate to deflect onto Labour.
Let’s be clear, all of the recent shite that doesn’t involve actual policy and is instead a smear campaign is right out of their well worn playbook.
Scumbags.
What a load of pointless waffle.Truss and Farage are individuals, and either no longer in power or haven’t actually been anywhere near it. So if they go to the US and appear at a rally, for example, there’s no repercussions in terms of the US-UK relationship after the election, because they have nothing to do with the UK government. No damage done.
The Labour Party sending staff over to help with the Democrat’s election campaign is an entirely different matter, as it inevitably suggests that the ruling UK party/UK government is taking sides in the election and openly preferring one outcome to another.
Depending on the election outcome, that could impact the UK’s relationship with its most important ally, and leave the UK worse off overall. That’s a party political issue impacting the UK, i.e. exactly what Starmer said he wanted to avoid. Once Labour gained power, they should not have allowed their staff to assist in the Democratic campaign, because doing so threatens the UK’s best interests.
Those are the facts of the matter, so I’m afraid a few crybabies on here will just have to deal with that, rather than pissing their pants when people spell it out for them.
It’s about the UK’s best interests vis-a-vis the UK’s most important ally, something which is above party politics.What a load of pointless waffle.
If Trump wins, whatever has happened in the run up to the election will be irrelevant. Anyone who thinks a non-issue like this will have any impact on long term transatlantic relations is deluded. If Trump wins, we will have a lot more to worry about than any imaginary consequences of this.
You have to admit that the optics aren't great. Had the Tories been in power and sitting Tory staffers were out in the US canvassing for a Trump win then the Tory thread on here would be in meltdown.What a load of pointless waffle.

No it wouldn’t. No one would care.You have to admit that the optics aren't great. Had the Tories been in power and sitting Tory staffers were out in the US canvassing for a Trump win then the Tory thread on here would be in meltdown.
So you agree that it would be perfectly acceptable for Putin to for example send a delegation to the UK to help Reform to canvass and help Nigel Farage to win the next general election? And nobody would care at all..?No it wouldn’t. No one would care.
This is so random.
“It’s not a good look” getting heavy usage for the they’re all the same weirdos.
We don’t even know if that has happened. I’m sure the US will arrest anyone who has broken the law. There is no sign of that happening as of yet, so the media narrative has duped people into seeing a story that isn’t there.So you agree that it would be perfectly acceptable for Putin to for example send a delegation to the UK to help Reform to canvass and help Nigel Farage to win the next general election?

The question I ask is ‘Who actually gives a fuck!’.You have to admit that the optics aren't great. Had the Tories been in power and sitting Tory staffers were out in the US canvassing for a Trump win then the Tory thread on here would be in meltdown.
Either way it's strange and disturbing, especially after people have spent years consistently moaning about election interference from Russia on other issues. How is this any different really?
If they have spare time then it's a shame that they'd rather try to impact a foreign election that is irrelevant to the UK versus maybe doing something that actually might benefit the UK.
You are suggesting that a few people from whichever party openly going to the US legally to canvass for either Democrats or Republicans is the same as Russian interference?

Of course it's a story, the current government has organised and sent key staffers to affect a foreign election.We don’t even know if that has happened. I’m sure the US will arrest anyone who has broken the law. There is no sign of that happening as of yet, so the media narrative has duped people into seeing a story that isn’t there.
Again.
