The British government’s chief of staff, head of communications, director of policy and director of strategy have allied with the Kamala campaign while the British government’s ruling Labour Party is working with the Democrats to send staffers to work for her in key swing states.
The ‘British invasion’ first began over the summer when top figures in the British government and the Labour party, including Prime Minister Starmer’s Chief of Staff and the heads of the Labour Party headed to the Democratic National Convention with a view, as one put it, to “ensuring we get on the right road to getting a second term”.
In October, the British Labour Party’s Head of Operations announced that nearly 100 Labour Party staffers were “heading to North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Virginia” as part of a campaign by ‘Labour for Kamala’.
The British Labour Party building a coordinated campaign operation with the Democrat Party and setting up operations in Pennsylvania and Virginia is an unprecedented level of foreign interference. Russians merely taking out Facebook ads led to widespread conspiracy theories, investigations and censorship by Democrats now actively courting foreign interference.
While both the Democrat Party and the British government have denied there was any official coordination, the Daily Telegraphrevealed that the ‘Labour for Kamala’ activists dispatched to work for Kamala’s election in swing states were to be housed bythe Democrat Party.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy, a close Obama ally, falsely claimed that the Labour party and its faltering government were taking no position on the American election, but they forgot to inform its Under-Secretary of State for Scotland who is hosting a ‘Come on Kamala’ Election Night party complete with ‘Labour for Kamala’ badges.
The level of foreign interference by the radical socialist ruling party goes beyond the 100 staffers dispatched to swing states. A British Labour delegation to the Democratic National Convention was led by Starmer’s Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeney who headed his campaign and had created the Center for Countering Digital Hate to censor conservatives in the UK and America.
PM Starmer initially lied, falsely claiming that “they’re doing it in their spare time, they’re doing it as volunteers, they’re staying I think with other volunteers over there. That’s what they’ve done in previous elections, that’s what they’re doing in this election and that’s really straight forward.”
Labour was then forced to admit that it had funded McSweeney’s trip to the DNC. The DNC delegation also included Matthew Doyle, Starmer’s head of communications, while being hosted by the Progressive Policy Institute: a Democrat Party think tank that is also currently employing Claire Ainsley who had served as Starmer’s Executive Director of Policy.
PPI, the Democrat think tank, also announced that it’s also hosting British Labour “strategist Deborah Mattinson” to share “campaign lessons from Labour’s victory with Democrats.”
Mattison’s bio still lists her as Starmer’s “Director of Strategy” though her status is unclear.
The Starmer government has tried to dismiss the close coordination between top Labour leaders and government advisers with the Democrat Party as mere “individual volunteers” there “on their own time”, but they’re not volunteers and they’re not there on their own time.
The British government’s chief of staff, head of communications, director of policy and director of strategy aiding an American presidential campaign is not a matter of “individual volunteers”. Nor is it a matter of volunteers when the British Labour Party’s Head of Operations is also dispatching staffers to swing states to campaign for that same presidential candidate.
What it is, is a nearly unprecedented level of foreign interference in an American election.
While the impact of the British Labour Party setting up shop in American swing states remains unknown, the impact of Starmer’s advisors on Kamala appears to be far more clear.
British observers of American politics first noted that the Kamala campaign appeared to have borrowed her baffling “turn the page” and “end the chaos” slogans from the Labour Party which had campaigned on a promise to “stop the chaos, turn the page, start to rebuild”. But the Labour Party had been running as challengers while Kamala is running for reelection as an incumbent.
In September, British Labor strategists had advised Kamala to focus on winning back Democrats who were preparing to vote for Trump based on economic issues. Her campaign appeared to pursue that approach, emphasizing economic issues and avoiding ideological messages. Then, as her polling numbers began to collapse, the campaign pivoted back to the old “protecting democracy” message while accusing Trump of being another Hitler.
After the 2016 election, Democrats mobilized to battle what they claimed was “foreign election interference” by Russia based on false claims about its mostly post-election Facebook ads. Since then much more blatant forms of foreign election interference have emerged. Iran hacking the Trump presidential campaign and passing on the materials to the Kamala campaign and the media occasioned little commentary and less outrage. And a foreign government advising and dispatching its own personnel to campaign for Kamala has been dismissed as a trivial matter.
More disturbingly, British government officials have claimed that it should be treated as normal.
According to British Labour Secretary of Defense John Healy, “this happens in every election. It’s commonplace. It is very different to the determination of a Labour Government to work with whoever the American people elect next month as their president.”
The notion that the British government intervening in an American election is “commonplace” or should be treated as such says more about the mindset of the Labour government than anything else. And it also highlights the comfort level of the Democrat Party allying with a foreign government for foreign election interference in an American presidential election.

The U.S. Government interference in other countries’ elections is just as bad as their interference in our elections. The only different is the U.S. goes one step further by financing and providing weapons to actually overthrow their government as well. A perfect example is the Ukraine.
Syd Winner says
goes very deep,The British have been a power in Washington since 1913 when the London Bankers & Wall street turned Washington into a financial captive of the Central bankers fronted politically by the Democrat Party of Woodrow Wilson. Today,111 years later,London is being financially Hammered by the BRIC’s & needs Washington more then ever!
Daniel says
I hope Trump hits them hard when he is elected!
Cassandra says
Me too! I hope puts massive tariffs on everything, that may be the only way to get them out of power!
Beez says
Whitehall must be made to pay dearly for these crimes against us. Starmer is a fascist dictator and a stooge of the oil sheiks.
Neil says
About time American’s sent ‘Big Brother’ Starmer and his merry band of commies packing like they did in 1776
Spurwing Plover says
Other Nations need to keep their noses out of our Elections especially those Tories from the UK
Cassandra says
The uniparty. They pretend they are different to each other but it’s a lie. They squawk at each other in Parliament but it’s just kabuki theatre.
Spurwing Plover says
They quarrel like Punch & Judy and beat each other over their heads with sticks. Punch gets Eaten

This article really drives home the Communist Globalist quest for one-world
government – their digitally and dictatorially controlled New World Order.
The borders in England have been overrun and collapsed. Some parts of
the country are unrecognizable. PM Starmer has clamped down hard on
the British while turning a blind eye to Muslim invaders. Our own southern
border is essentially gone, our cities and communities unrecognizable and
violent crime is everywhere. Americans are seriously struggling to feed
their kids and pay the rent. All caused by Globalist Communist policies in
both lands.
And here are the Globalist Communist fiends in Britain coordinating with
the Globalist Communist fiends here at home to hasten America’s toppling –
through interference in the Presidential election. Their goals will be within
striking distance if Kamala gets in – and they and she will strike a deadly
blow to America and individual freedom.
We know our Founding Fathers were right about people only being allowed
to govern with the consent of the governed. All we have to do is listen to a
true dumbass like Kamala Harris to realize how right they were and also to
observe the evil machinations of the Globalist Communists – who don’t
want to govern but want instead to rule.
TRUMP OR TYRANNY! 2024
Mo de Profit says
100% accurate.
This is not just about Britain and America it is a worldwide governance issue.
The UN is at the top of this hierarchy.
The messages that the British public are getting is exactly the same as those that the American public are getting.
Globalism is the problem, global government, global finance, global tech, global pharma.
Madame DeFarge says
Well written. Do not forget the lady sentenced to jail for an “evil” text about muslim murderers last week. There is NO free speech or action now allowed there. See last week Front-page.
internalexile says
An excellent summary. Thank you. Of course, Obama directly interfered in Israel’s elections, and we stick our nose into everyone else’s business via government groups like the CIA, so I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised when it is done to us. But this does seem to be another coordinated effort in the march toward global Marxism, be it cultural or economic. Shut up and take your soma.
Jim says
Russia used to be the darling of the International Left – they couldn’t do wrong no matter what. Then an amazing thing happened when they abandoned Communism for a freer system – they suddenly became the pariah of the International Left.
So when Trump got elected, it was non-stop “Russia Collusion”, “Russian Election Interference”, etc. Obama even tried to provoke a war with Russia as he was leaving office in 2017.
They are strangely silent when it comes to “British Election Interference”. And they quietly interfered in an Israeli election during Obama’s time in the White House.
Keith Reese says
Communists & Dumb-Ass: 100% Correct.
To this day, I still contend that Obama wasn’t smart, but Harris makes him look like a genius.
Beez says
Obama wasn’t smart. I sincerely believe that he did not earn his academic degrees, and that there’s something very fishy about his former membership in the Illinois Bar Association.
Hardball1Alpha says
So if Trump wins, maybe he can send in the SEALs to liberate Tommy Robinson from his Marxist captors.

You have censored my opinions several times over the last several days without any justification for doing so.. My response to this article was to show that the United States does the same thing as other countries do regarding elections. We interfere in other countries as well . Besides the Ukraine, the U.S. is doing the same thing to Hungary to unseat the current prime minister.
I guess you do not want your readers to know the truth for a change. The United States is just as bad as England or any other country that becomes involved in elections of other countries. I guess its better that the American people believe we are the only victim of election interference from others.
It is obvious that your website wants to control what your readers should be told. No opposing opinion that does not fit your website’s agenda will be published.
Therefore, this is my last reply since your website is not interested in the truth. I now have to consider how accurate some of your other articles have been.
Have a nice evening and good-bye.
Beez says
Trump had nothing to do with that.
Cassandra says
I believe this was organised by our uniparty: why did the previous Tory government decide to have an election in the middle of summer when most people are on holiday – including MPs? Never happened before. So they did this knowing they were going to lose and decided to allow the new regime to get its legs well under the table in time for the US election. Remember the previous British govt interference by mi6 agent Christopher Steele was also under a Tory government.
However, this lot of uk apparatchiks are incompetent and stupid and could never teach Americans anything. They were only elected because of two things: stupid people who were fed up with the Tories and voted out of (totally misplaced) revenge. And a mainly supine electorate who mostly didn’t bother to vote.
MARYLOU LEEMAN says
I feel I watched a soft coup by the commies of our dear mother country, England, in the 1950’s or so. That was when the gentle king, George, Eliz 2’s father, gave in and allowed the culmination of a socialist program that had been underway and was now completed or that is was able to PROGRESS. Progressives won the day! and now we watch those results. I pray to God for regaining of our liberties and govt protections.
Beez says
Hit them with sanctions on Herr Shtarmer, Lammy, and any other MP who was involved.
