Donald Trump will ‘unleash all-out war’ against Keir Starmer if he wins US presidential race after Labor row to help rival Kamala Harris

Donald Trump will launch “all-out war” against Sir Keir Starmer if he returns to the White House, according to senior Conservative Party officials who have been in contact with the former US president’s campaign team.

Tory sources have said the revelations about alleged Labor interference in the US election on behalf of Trump’s Democratic opponent Kamala Harris will have far-reaching consequences if he wins the election ten days from now.

A source told The Mail on Sunday: “Don’t underestimate the damage Starmer has done to relations with the US – Trump’s team is ready to launch an all-out war against him because he is perceived as anti-American and a whiner. , a liberal bore’.

Trump’s campaign filed a complaint with the US Elections Commission about “illegal foreign contributions” after it emerged that Labor Party chairwoman Sophia Patel had asked party staff if anyone wanted to go to the US to “help our friends”. pond elects its first female president.”

Senior Labor figures, including Morgan McSweeney – now No 10 chief of staff – and communications director Matthew Doyle attended the Democratic Party’s national convention in August. The delegation included Holly Ridley, then Labour’s chief executive of nations and regions, and senior aide Sheila Murphy.

It comes after Trump’s campaign filed a complaint with the US election authority over “illegal foreign contributions” after it emerged that labor activists had campaigned for his Democratic rival Kamala Harris.

Ms Ridley has since been appointed general secretary of the Labor Party, replacing David Evans, who was also on the trip. All of them took an active part in the election campaign of Labor.

The latest poll shows Harris ahead by just over one percentage point overall, but the Electoral College system could still favor Trump even if he trails in the popular vote.

The vast majority of bets on last week’s election in America were placed on Trump.

Sir Keir sought to play down fears the row could damage Britain’s relationship with America if Mr Trump wins.

Speaking at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Summit in Samoa, he said: “I met with President Trump just a few weeks ago in New York. We had dinner together for two hours. We wanted to make sure we got to know each other. The fact that several volunteers from the Labor Party participated in this election, as they have done in all previous elections, in previous elections, as political activists from all political parties in almost every election year after year, must be considered properly in perspective.’

He added: “I have a good relationship with President Trump. I will work with whoever is chosen.”

Trump’s deputy general counsel alleged in a letter to the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday that the Labor campaign was part of a “far-left” conspiracy to derail his campaign.

The complaint claims there is a “reasonable inference” that Labor was involved in organizing the trip, despite the party’s denials.

The letter also accused officials of advising the Harris campaign at the convention, a violation of rules that prevent foreigners from making “contributions” to the United States.
