No Labour wrongdoing in Kamala Harris campaign row, says ex-Tory minister

Robert Buckland says it appears Labour activists covered their own expenses, after Trump team files legal complaint

Labour did nothing wrong when party officials campaigned for Kamala Harris in the US election, a former Conservative minister has argued, after Downing Street faced fury from Donald Trump about the move.

Robert Buckland, who has also campaigned for Harris due to his distaste for Trump, said it appeared that Labour activists who knocked on doors had volunteered and covered their own expenses, which would not be a breach of US laws on overseas involvement in elections.
