According to a social media post by the Labour Party’s head of operations, Sofia Patel, around a hundred current and former staffers of Britain’s ruling party are set to help American Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s campaign in several key swing states. Patel claims the Labour activists will travel to the United States in the coming weeks to help the Harris campaign in North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

Patel advertised in the LinkedIn post, made on October 16, that there were still ten spots remaining for those who wish to go to North Carolina and that housing accommodations would be provided for them. It is unclear whether the Labour Party, the Harris campaign, or someone else may be paying for the accommodations. While foreigners can volunteer in elections, they cannot be directly compensated.

Earlier this year, several high-profile Labour Party figures, including several sitting Members of Parliament (MPs) and Labour General Secretary David Evans, attended the Democratic National Convention (DNC). The Harris campaign also recruited Deborah Mattinson, a former strategy director for Britain’s leftist prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer. Mattinson had helped rebrand Labour in an effort to appeal to the party’s traditional working-class voters.

FOREIGN INTERFERENCE.

Sofia Patel’s announcement reveals the deep connections between Labour and the Democrats amid concerns about foreign election interference in the U.S.

However, corporate media election interference reports are largely limited to countries like Russia, Iran, or China and are filled with claims that these countries are attempting to aid Republicans and the campaign of former President Donald J. Trump. This comes despite Russia’s President Vladimir Putin endorsing Kamala Harris and Iran allegedly attempting to assassinate President Trump.
