2024 US election: Jonathan Ashworth to meet with Kamala Harris team to share campaign tips
That's from awhile back, but newly relevant given this.
Donald Trump's campaign has filed a Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint against the UK's Labour Party, accusing it of "blatant foreign interference" in the US election in aid of the Harris-Walz campaign.
Trump's charge is silly, but it's also likely that it didn't occur to the chucklefucks in Labour that they'd better be a bit careful with the expense accounting for this stuff.
