UK’s Labour All In Against Trump

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2024

You would think that UK Labour PM Keir Starmer, being the most unpopular leader in Parliament, would want to concentrate on getting his own house in order before going abroad to find dragons to slay. But, when it comes to the fierce Draconis Orangemanbadus, you’d be wrong.

Starmer’s Labour Party is all in for Kamala Harris and against Trump, to the extent that Labour announced they’re sending 100 Labour activists to campaign for Harris in battleground states.

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has a strong warning for staff members of the UK’s Labour Party considering coming to the U.S. to campaign for Kamala Harris in key battleground states: “You are breaking FEC (Federal Election Commission) laws.”

A recent tweet from Sofia Patel who is Head of Operations at the Labour Party in the UK, boasts of having nearly 100 staff members heading to the U.S. to campaign for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in key battleground states including North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Patel’s post on X prompted a pointed response from Rep. Greene who reminded Patel that foreign nationals are not allowed to be involved in U.S. elections in any way.

Along with providing a link to FEC laws forbidding foreign nationals from participating in any election activities, Greene also invited Patel to go back to the UK and “fix your own mass immigration problems that are ruining your country.”

Foreign interference in U.S. elections is often portrayed as Russia or some other adversarial state trying to influence gullible American voters through disinformation via social media.

But Patel’s tweet shows that the UK’s Labour Party has been actively organizing for months to help Democrats to try to beat former president Donald Trump.

But that’s not the only front Labour is waging war against Trump and his political allies. A report from Paul D. Thacker and Matt Taibbi covers a UK document leak where they state a policy goal to “kill Musk’s Twitter.”

The British are coming, to meddle in our elections!

In an explosive leak with ramifications for the upcoming U.S. presidential election, internal documents from the Center for Countering Digital Hate—whose founder is British political operative Morgan McSweeney, now advising the Kamala Harris campaign—show the group plans in writing to “kill Musk’s Twitter” while strengthening ties with the Biden/Harris administration and Democrats like Senator Amy Klobuchar, who has introduced multiple bills to regulate online “misinformation.”

Snip.

The documents obtained by The DisInformation Chronicle and Racket show CCDH’s hyperfocus on Musk — “Kill Musk’s Twitter” is the first item in the template of its monthly agenda notes dating back to the early months of this year.

The Center for Countering Digital Hate is the anti-disinformation activist ally of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, and a messaging vehicle for Labour’s neoliberal think tank, Labour Together. Both the CCDH and Labour Together were founded by Morgan McSweeney, a Svengali credited with piloting Starmer’s rise to Downing Street, much as Karl Rove is credited with guiding George W. Bush to the White House.

The CCDH documents carry particular importance because McSweeney’s Labour Together political operatives have been teaching election strategy to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, leading Politico to call Labour and the Democrats “sister parties.” CCDH’s focus on “Kill Musk’s Twitter” also adds to legal questions about the nonprofit’s tax-exempt status as a 501(c)(3) organization.

According to the IRS, CCDH could lose its special tax status if “a substantial part of its activities is attempting to influence legislation.” Yet, CCDH’s third item on its annual priority list is “Trigger EU and UK regulatory action” and the group previously employed the firm Lot Sixteen to lobby congressional offices on “misinformation” in Washington.

Both The DisInformation Chronicle and Racket have sent multiple, extensive questions to CCDH’s current CEO Imran Ahmed, another British political operative tied to McSweeney’s Labour Together. Despite repeated requests for comment, Ahmed has refused to respond.

I bet.

In the last two months, the Washington Post and Politico, among others, have run a series of features about British advisors from Labour Together rescuing the distressed political damsel that is the Harris/Walz campaign. Politico casts McSweeney as the “election mastermind” who first helped Keir Starmer defeat leftist Jeremy Corbyn to become the head of Labour, all the way to Starmer’s “landslide” win over Conservatives to become Prime Minister this past July, implying that McSweeney and his team can perform a similar miracle for Harris.

Of course, Starmer wouldn’t be PM if Rishi “The Idiot” Sunak hadn’t felt compelled to call an early election the Tories got slaughtered in.

It’s crucial to understand that CCDH, Labour Together, and Keir Starmer’s Labour Party exist as a single package, with McSweeney at the helm. No political operative in the Western hemisphere is more in demand than Starmer’s “Rasputin,” regularly hailed as a genius. Much like Rove, however, the McSweeney reputation is built more on mudslinging and character assassination than insight into voter needs. Canary-style efforts and boycotts have already begun in the U.S.

McSweeney’s Labour Together colleague Imran Ahmed opened a CCDH office in DC three years ago and began working with American journalists to suppress dissent and enforce narratives friendly to Democrats and the Biden/Harris administration.

The CCDH was also a character in the Twitter Files, notably organizing a letter from State Attorneys General to the platform seeking to ban the so-called “Disinformation Dozen” over Covid-related content, a group that included Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

“I hope you will take decisive action to prevent them from endangering people’s safety any longer,” wrote Imran Ahmed in a July 2020 email to Twitter, while forwarding the “The Disinformation Dozen” report.

Oh how the controlling left longs for those halcyon days of 2020, when the giant club of Flu Manchu let them censor #WrongThink against leftist shibboleths. Unfortunately for them (and fortunately for western civilization), their precious covid narrative unraveled in short order and Elon Musk turned on “the woke mind virus,” bought Twitter and backed Trump. They’ve been bitterly trying to claw back control ever since, hence the attempts by leftists in the EU and Brazil to bring Musk under their thumb.

Having clueless Brits illegally interfere in American politics and try to censor freedom of the press probably isn’t going to work out the way McSweeney and Starmer’s toadies think it will…
