Is Labour 'interfering' in the US election?
34:52 Share

Donald Trump's campaign has filed a Federal Election Commission complaint against - what sorry - the Labour party, accusing it of 'blatant foreign interference', for allowing volunteers to door knock in swing states for Kamala Harris.

The story either goes back to a linked in post by a labour staffer offering volunteers free accommodation in North Carolina, or it goes back to a longer standing row that Trump's mate Elon Musk has with Keir Starmer.

Farage is out of the traps calling it an 'insult' to an incoming Trump administration. Labour is calling Farage a pot, or a kettle, and pointing to the efforts Farage has made over 8 years to get Trump into power.

Later in the show we ask whether labour are prepared to send water company bosses to jail. We speak to Defra's Steve Reed about pollution and whether the water companies should work for no profit.
