During the presidential campaign, the UK Labour Party sent 100 campaign workers to the United States to help Kamala Harris to her stunning victory last November. If you believe that the Biden administration and the Harris campaign weren't coordinating with them, you really are as stupid as the Democrats think you are.
Both Clinton and Obama sent campaign advisors to Israel to work against Bibi Netanyahu, and it goes without saying that the United States government spends billions of dollars a year messing around with other countries' elections and politics. Hell, that was basically USAID's whole shtick.
It's the sort of thing that happens all the time, and for better or worse, all countries do it to some extent or another. Sometimes it is within the law, other times the laws get bent or broken. But the reason why it's done is clear enough: the people doing it think that one candidate or another, or one government or another, will benefit them politically, economically, ideologically, or in some other manner.
Corbyn wants to help Mamdani for one reason. https://t.co/KM5NsDaTLd

Or they could just be messing with the internal affairs of a country to sow chaos and division. China and Russia do this all the time; sometimes they back one candidate or another, or both, or attack both, or spread propaganda. It sucks, but it happens all the time, and everybody does it.
That's one of the reasons why the whole Russian collusion kerfuffle was such BS. Not only was it not true—it was a hoax—but it also would have been just another day in America if it had been true.
If anything, Democrats tend to have more international entanglements between their domestic politics and foreign governments. And it is perfectly legitimate to use these ties as campaign fodder. Mamdani's connection to notorious antisemite Jeremy Corbyn is just one more strike against both of them, but I would be dishonest if I claimed that I am shocked, appalled, or even offended that a British politician was helping out a candidate he supported.
Why on Earth is @UKLabour proactively campaigning for Kamala Harris by flying out & providing accommodation for 100 UK Labour Party members in the USA to campaign for her?

Disgraceful!
Labour government will be a laughing stock in the Trump administration if (likely) he wins.
I share my opinions all the time on politics in other countries. Not that anyone in Britain cares a whit what I think, but I would happily insert myself in a campaign if I thought it would make a difference.
The whole "election interference" scare is grossly overblown. In a practical sense, Chinese and Russian bot farms aimed at stirring up anger are a concern, but not primarily because they would have a significant impact on elections per se, but rather because they contribute to cultural unrest. It's the sort of thing that USAID did before Trump shut it down, and if done well and with significant resources backing the efforts, it can have a meaningful impact.
Ironically, Jeremy Corbyn's intervention in the New York City election, as overt as it is, will have the electoral impact that a gnat would have on your windshield as you drive down the highway. It may be a bit of a feather in Corbyn's political cap, but I doubt anybody stupid enough to vote for Mamdani in New York City has a clue who Corbyn is.
I do think it is funny, though, that Democrats who are so faux-outraged at "election interference" seem so eager to take foreign help whenever it suits them.
Americans, aside from AWFLs and the transnationalists who will vote Democrat no matter what, don't care what foreigners think about our politics, nor should we.
In an ideal world, they should care a hell of a lot more about what we think about them. We are the big dogs on the block, after all.
Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
