Debunked: Why is Trump accusing Starmer of election interference? | News [Video]

Donald Trump has accused Sir Keir Starmer of election interference, claiming Labour officials are illegally campaigning for Kamala Harris in the US.

This allegation hinges on two questions: Are Labour staff campaigning alongside Harris, and is the party funding these trips?

Trump’s campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, citing a now-deleted LinkedIn post from Labour’s head of operations, which alleged nearly 100 staff are travelling to the US to support Harris.

However, environment secretary Steve Reed clarified these individuals were volunteering in their spare time and that Labour had not financed the trips.
