Labour responds to Trump's election interference allegations

Labour's Steve Reed has defended his party amid allegations of election interference from US Republican candidate Donald Trump.

Trump's campaign complained to the Federal Election Commission, saying the "illegal foreign assistance" is a "another feeble attempt in a long line of anti-American election interference" after a LinkedIn post from Labour's head of operations said nearly 100 staff members would be going to the US.

Mr Reed said: "It's not unusual for supporters of a party in one country to campaign for a sister party in another country." The environment secretary insisted "none of this was organised or funded by the Labour party." Report by Kennedyl.
