It’s trouble in paradise for Labour HQ after Donald Trump unleashed a furious legal complaint, accusing the Party of “blatant foreign interference” in the election. The fallout stems from Labour staff organising a trip for nearly 100 activists to campaign for Kamala Harris. Trump’s camp are up in arms, claiming Labour has been funnelling “illegal foreign campaign contributions” and branding the party as “far-Left” for pushing Harris’ dangerously “liberal” agenda. Friends across the Pond are not amused…
Starmer is now desperately trying to salvage the situation, insisting he can still have a “good relationship” with Trump despite this. Environmental Secretary Steve Reed was shoved onto the morning media round for damage control, downplaying the debacle by saying, “it’s not unusual for supporters of a party in one country to go and campaign for a sister party in another.” Unlikely that line will reassure The Donald…
Meanwhile, Elon Musk, one of Trump’s close allies, has thrown more fuel on the fire by declaring “war” on a Labour-linked campaign group – Morgan McSweeney among its ex-directors – aimed at tackling online misinformation after one of its main missions was revealed to be “Kill Musk’s Twitter”. With Trump rising in the polls, the special relationship will be in for a bumpy ride if he ends up back in the White House…
Trump spoke last night at the luxurious annual Al Smith memorial dinner in New York. It rasies money for Catholic charities supporting children…
The candidate, who’s now the bookies’ favourite again, took some time to dig at Harris’ latest campaign effort: winning the white male vote.
“There’s a group called ‘White Dudes for Harris’ have you seen this? White Dudes for Harris… I’m not worried about them at all. Because their wives and their wives lovers are all voting for me every one of those people in.“
It’s tradition that most candidates turn up. Kamala couldn’t find the time…
Nigel Farage has torn into Kamala Harris after a car-crash interview with Fox News. Confronted with a poll showing over 70% of Americans think the country is on the wrong track— a track Harris has been a part of for over three years —her response was even weaker than her usual word salads:
“And Donald Trump has been running for office, since… you know what I’m talking about.”
Err… no we don’t. Farage didn’t mince his words, posting on X, “She’s even more stupid than I thought.” And this could be the next Leader of the Free World…
The IDF has confirmed suspicions that its mortar strike on a group of terrorists in Gaza killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. DNA and fingerprint checks have been conducted…
Sinwar has been leader of Hamas in Gaza since 2017. Another step towards total victory…
David Lammy’s visit to China has been officialy confirmed. He will fly tomorrow for a two-day trip…
The Foreign Secretary has been busy warming up to China. Along with handing the Chagos Islands to China-ally Mauritius, he said earlier this year: “We have been very concerned that the government seems to have given up entirely on engagement with China. No one seems to have gone from our government to China, which is very, very bizarre.” Lammy is obsessed with attacking Tories for refusing to “engage” with China while sending his ministerial team for meetings with Xi Jinping’s strategic mastermind Wan Huning…
The government refuses to call China a threat because the “deep and complex” relationship can’t be “boiled down to one word.” Now Lammy visits China before Commonwealth allies Australia, Canada, or New Zealand. Eyebrows will be raised very high down under, where China is a major strategic enemy…
Before the election Labour promised “a full audit across Whitehall of our relationship with China so that we can set the direction and a course.” The government is refusing to explain what its status is, and today defends the visit as a “necessary pragmatic engagement.” Lammy is visiting before the “direction and course” are set – Where is the audit?
