Transatlantic election friction: Trump, Musk versus UK Labour Party

[Karah Rucker]

FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION AGAINST THE HARRIS-WALZ CAMPAIGN AND THE LABOUR PARTY OF  THE UNITED KINGDOM.

TRUMP SAYS THE U-K IS INTERFERING IN THE ELECTION BY RECRUITING PARTY MEMBERS TO CAMPAIGN FOR HARRIS IN SWING STATES.

TRUMP SAYS THE BRITISH GROUP MADE ILLEGAL “FOREIGN NATIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS” AND HAS SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OVER THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN’S MESSAGING.

IN THE FEC COMPLAINT –

TRUMP’S LAWYER SAYS 

When representatives of the British government previously sought to go door-to-door in America, it did not end well for them. This past week marked the 243 anniversary of the surrender of British forces at the Battle of Yorktown, a military victory that ensured that the United States would be politically independent of Great Britian.1 It appears that the Labour Party and the Harris for President campaign have forgotten the message.

UK PRIME MINISTER KEIR STARMER SAYS PARTY MEMBERS HAVE TRAVELED TO THE U.S. “PRETTY MUCH EVERY ELECTION” AND SAYs THEY DO SO IN THEIR SPARE TIME AND AS VOLUNTEERS.

THE BBC REPORTED LABOUR STAFFERS WHO ARE CAMPAIGNING IN THE U.S. HAVE TAKEN LEAVE FROM THEIR ROLES AND ARE PAYING FOR THE TRIP THEMSELVES.

THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IS QUESTIONING THIS BY POINTING TO A NOW-DELETED POST ON LINKED-IN BY LABOUR PARTY LEADER SOFIA PATEL.

THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN SAYS THE POST WAS RECRUITING CURRENT AND FORMER MEMBERS TO CAMPAIGN FOR HARRIS IN NORTH CAROLINA – WITH 100 MEMBERS SIGNING UP –

AND THAT PATEL WOULD HELP “SORT OUT THEIR HOUSING”.

THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WROTE IN THE FILING THE LANGUAGE OF THE POST SUGGESTED TRAVEL COSTS WERE COVERED FOR ANYONE WHO SIGNED UP.

STARMER SAYS THE PARTY HAD DONE NOTHING ILLEGAL.

AND SAYS NO MATTER WHO WINS IN NOVEMBER – HE WILL WORK WITH WHOEVER BECOMES PRESIDENT.

THE SPAR BETWEEN TRUMP AND THE LABOUR PARTY –

COMES AS TRUMP-ALLY ELON MUSK IS IN HIS OWN FEUD WITH THE GROUP.

THE “CENTER FOR COUNTERING DIGITAL HATE” – A GROUP LINKED TO THE LABOUR PARTY –  WITH THE MISSION OF “STOPPING THE SPREAD OF MISINFORMATION ONLINE” – HAD INTERNAL DOCUMENTS LEAKED BY A WHISTLEBLOWER – ACCORDING TO JOURNALIST MATT TAIBBI’S REPORT.

THE DOCUMENTS SHOW THE AGENDA FOR THE GROUP.

TOP OF THE LIST. “KILL MUSK’S TWITTER.”

AND FOR SEVERAL MONTHS – THIS REMAINED AT THE TOP OF THE AGENDA LIST.

SO HOW DID THE GROUP PLAN TO DO THIS?

BY TARGETING AND HARASSING X ADVERTISERS – USING EU REGULATIONS AS LEVERAGE TO GET THEM TO MOVE THEIR MONEY OFF THE PLATFORM.

MUSK REPOSTED THE TAIBBI REPORT – WITH THE CAPTION “THIS IS WAR.”

THE LABOUR PARTY HAS NOT COMMENTED ON THE CLAIMS INSIDE THE REPORT.
