The Head of Operations of the leftist British Labour Party, which is now in government after 14 years of being the opposition, declared in a LinkedIn post that she is organising a party of 100 staff members to be sent to swing states in the US to campaign for Kamala Harris, prompting charges of election interference.
Sofia Patel proudly announced her plan, advertising that she has 10 spots left with free accommodation for any rabid British TDS sufferers who want to stick their nose into the US election.

Patel has since deleted the post as it became apparent exactly what was going on here.
Interfering in another countries' elections because they're scared of the outcome. Imagine the Trump administration coming here to support Farrage.

Foreign election interference is fine as long as it's the left who is doing it.

X owner Elon Musk chimed in to note that the Patel’s proposed plan is simply illegal.
