Kamala Harris and Sir Keir Starmer's Labour Party have been charged by Donald Trump's campaign with meddling in the election. The Federal Election Commission, which regulates elections in the United States, received a complaint from the Republican candidate's team.It charged "far-left" Labour with "interference in our elections and illegal foreign campaign contributions." It follows news last week that over 100 former and present Labour employees were traveling to the United States to campaign for the Democrats before the November 5 election.Mr Trump's campaign co-manager Susie Wiles 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 Trump campaign branded Labour a "far-Left" party that had "inspired Kamala's dangerously liberal policies and rhetoric".Activists from Sir Keir's party were due to travel to swing states Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia to canvass for Democrat candidate Ms Harris.
It is understood the trips were for individuals in a personal capacity and were not organised or funded by Labour.But the revelation sparked an intense backlash from Republicans, as well as politicians in the UK including Reform leader Nigel Farage, former PM Liz Truss and Ashfield MP Lee Anderson.
