Head of Operations at The Labour Party, Sofia Patel, has nearly 100 Labour Party staff (current and former) going to the US in the next few weeks to campaign for Kamala Harris to become the next President of the United States of America.
This has prompted many people to ask why the Labour Party are interfering in a foreign election.
Sofia Patel has posted to LinkedIn:
I have nearly 100 Labour Party staff (current and former) going to the US in the next few weeks heading to North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia. I have 10 spots available for anyone available to head to the battleground state of North Carolina - we will sort your housing. Email me on labourforkamala@gmail.com if you’re interested. Thanks!

At best it is election interference & as someone who has some knowledge of the American visa system, illegal. You must be a bone fide work permit holder e.g. an H1, a permanent resident (Green Card holder) or a citizen to be involved.
