‘I volunteered for Harris campaign to save the world from a catastrophic Trump presidency’

Real Britain is simply a Mirror bid that stands up for your assemblage and asks however authorities affects existent people. This week Ros Wynne-Jones explains wherefore she felt compelled to bash her spot for Harris Walz squad aft Trump complained the UK's Labour Party were interfering successful the US election

When I was connected a travel to the swing-state of Pennsylvania earlier this period for the Mirror, I had a time off. And I went campaigning for the Democrats successful the agrarian plains of Chester County. With not a moment’s hesitation.

This is an predetermination that not lone whitethorn beryllium the astir important of my beingness – but whitethorn besides travel down to a fistful of votes. If it does, due to the fact that of the US electoral system, they volition much than apt beryllium votes formed by Pennsylvanians.

“I’m curious,” 1 aged Republican pistillate asked me. “You’re a agelong mode from home. Why bash British radical attraction astir this election?”

The US elections, which hap successful conscionable two-weeks’ time, substance not conscionable for the woman covering her clapboard location successful Halloween decorations for her grandchildren, but for each our children too.

In the Middle East, successful Ukraine, and successful Sudan, millions of lives beryllium connected who the adjacent President of the United States is. The adjacent person of the Free World volition dictate whether this tremendous state believes successful – fto unsocial tackles – the clime alteration emergency.

Our chances of being blown to smithereens turn exponentially with a antheral arsenic blessed to play astatine being Kim Jong Un arsenic a McDonalds server successful complaint of planetary diplomacy, fto unsocial the existent atomic button.

Meanwhile, the large dictators of the satellite successful Russia, China and North Korea and their authoritarian populist allies successful places similar India, Hungary, Austria and Italy, are conscionable waiting for a Trump Presidency.

This is simply a knife-edge election, virtually headed down to the wire. Which means each azygous 1 of america who cares astir peace, cosmopolitan prosperity oregon our satellite volition person crushed to beryllium grateful to immoderate activistic crossing the Atlantic implicit the adjacent 2 weeks to combat a Trump Presidency and triumph for Kamala Harris.

So, nary wonder, Trump is agitated by quality that UK citizens are heading implicit to sound connected doors to transportation voters to ballot Democrat, arsenic they accidental “up and down the ballot”.

Now, helium has filed an bonzer ailment against the UK’s Labour party for what it claims is “interference” successful the US statesmanlike election. Labour has denied the claims, saying nary specified interference has happened.

But nary 1 should beryllium amazed if Labour supporters, commercialized unionists and others are heading implicit to the US to rotation up their sleeves and sound doors for Harris. Activism, aft all, is not defined by planetary borders. There is simply a agelong past of progressives crossing the seas to enactment each other’s struggles that dates backmost good beyond adjacent the Spanish Civil War.

Maybe the ineligible ailment is conscionable different Trump stunt, arsenic the golfing gazillionaire covers himself successful the stars and stripes of the American gyration portion misspelling “Britian” successful his outraged letter.

But it’s besides an effort by the maestro gas-lighter to distract voters from the manipulations of his ain side.

In the past fewer days, his caller champion person Elon Musk – who is promised a large occupation successful the caller Trump medication – has acceptable up a lottery giving retired 1 cardinal dollars A DAY.

The X boss, who acceptable up America PAC to enactment Donald Trump successful the statesmanlike contest, calls connected registered voters – who conscionable hap to unrecorded successful 7 plaything states – to motion a petition. Each time until the election, 1 signatory is selected astatine random to person a million-dollar prize.

Russian bots person been linked to a bid of heavy fakes and conspiracy theories, that conjecture what each favour President Trump – including adjacent the bizarre and utterly mendacious assertion that Kamala Harris killed a kid successful a roadworthy accident.

Meanwhile, Trump doesn’t look to beryllium bothered that his aged chum Nigel Farage – an existent sitting MP of the British authorities – has made his mode to America to spot Steve Bannon, the antheral galore held liable for the storming of the capitol.

And, of course, each the while, the Far Right, Radical Right and achromatic supremacists of America are allegedly stockpiling weapons for a re-run of the storming of the Capitol, that could marque January 6 look similar Toy Story.

As for the woman making the Halloween decorations. The Democrat canvassing app had her and her hubby down arsenic Republicans.

“That’s not the lawsuit this time,” she told us. “I can’t ballot for that man, and I won’t. And my hubby won’t beryllium voting for Trump either.”

That’s wherefore each azygous doorway successful Pennsylvania and beyond is worthy knocking on. And if you’re heading retired to unpaid from immoderate country of the United Kingdom implicit the adjacent 2 weeks – convey you.
