A Labour campaign push for Kamala Harris looks to have backfired for the final time after Donald Trump surged to victory wherever the party’s staffers went canvassing.
Sofia Patel, Labour’s head of operations, boasted of how 100 party staff were on the ground in North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia – and were seeking recruits to join them.
Accommodation was sorted by volunteers campaigning for the Democrats, GB News was told – sparking a row over “blatant foreign interference” led by the Trump campaign itself.
Now, in the aftermath of Trump’s return to the White House, new data shows that the Republican soon-to-be President won an extra 117,000 votes in North Carolina, 28,000 in Nevada, 77,000 in Pennsylvania and 38,000 in Virginia.
That totals to some 260,000 votes – while the Democrats lost 398,000 in the same states.
Speaking to GB News about Labour’s links with the Democrats when the news emerged, ex-MP Jonathan Ashworth said: “There are long-standing and deep links between the Labour Party and Democrats. Progressive parties the world over share campaign learnings in elections.
“Just as there are historic links between the Conservatives and Republicans. But our Labour Prime Minister has been steadfast in saying he will work with whoever the American people put in the White House.”
