Trump campaign argues that se activities could amount to illegal foreign contributions to Harris campaign, citing involvement of Labour-linked individuals and alleged communication between two political groups. 

British PM is attempting to downplay accusations 

In defense, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has attempted downplayed accusations, stating that Labour has a history of sending volunteers to assist with US elections. He emphasized that such efforts have been a longstanding practice. Party officials also clarified that trips by volunteers were not organized or funded by Labour Party itself. However, many Trump supporters are claiming that Democrats, who for years accused Russia of interfering in US elections, seem all too conformable with UK's political interference in American elections. 

Elon Musk, who is supporting Trump in this election cycle, and actively campaigning for him, has stated that UK's interference in US elections amounts to war.
