The Spin
The virtual coalition formed by the Democratic Party and the UK's Labour Party is dangerous and illegal. Such foreign interference undermines US election laws. Trump's fightback against such ganging upactivity, which threatens American democracy, must be fully supported by US voters so as to preserve electoral integrity.
Fears of Labour Party interference in the US presidential election are exaggerated. The Trump campaign's complaint alleging illegal foreign contributions is simply provesevidence of paranoia. The Labour members' actions are voluntary and consistent with previous elections. In any case, such allegations are hardly likely to affect US-UK ties.
