Donald Trump will unleash “all-out war” on Sir Keir Starmer if he returns to the White House, according to senior Conservative figures who have been in contact with the former U.S. President’s campaign team. The Mail has more.
The Tory party sources said that revelations about the Labour Party’s alleged interference in the U.S. election on behalf of Trump’s Democratic opponent Kamala Harris would have far-reaching consequences if he ends up victorious in the vote in ten days’ time.
A source told the Mail on Sunday: “Do not underestimate the damage Starmer has done to relations with the U.S. – the Trump team are ready and waiting to unleash all-out war on him, because he is perceived as anti-American and a whingeing, liberal bore.”
The Trump campaign has lodged a complaint with the US elections watchdog over “illegal foreign national contributions” after it emerged that Labour’s head of operations, Sofia Patel, asked party staffers if anyone would be willing to travel to the US to “help our friends across the pond elect their first female president”.
Senior Labour figures, including Morgan McSweeney – now the No10 chief of staff – and Director of Communications Matthew Doyle attended the Democratic National Convention in August. The delegation included Hollie Ridley, then Labour’s Executive Director of nations and regions, and senior aide Sheila Murphy.
Ms. Ridley has since been appointed as Labour’s general secretary, replacing David Evans – who was also on the trip. All were closely involved in Labour’s general election campaign.
