Lee Anderson has expressed outrage over reports that the Labour Party has implemented plans to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election.
According to The Telegraph, which Anderson included in his tweet, the party has allegedly sent 100 party staff to the US to assist Democrats in swing states.
The Labour activists, including both current and former party staff, will reportedly be canvassing for Vice President Kamala Harris in crucial battleground states such as Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
With just over two weeks until the US election on November 5, their efforts are aimed at bolstering Harris’ path to the White House.
Anderson voiced his concerns on social media, warning on X: “How to ruin the special relationship.
“Just imagine if Donald Trump wins in a few weeks’ time. He’s then got to deal with Labour’s David Lammy who called him a ‘neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath’ and ‘a racist KKK and Nazi sympathizer’.”
He added: “Not only that, he will also have to deal with a British Government that sent over an army of activists to stop him winning the election. This is very worrying indeed.”
A senior Labour Party staffer said in a LinkedIn post on Wednesday: “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.”
Two weeks earlier on August 2, staff were also emailed and asked if anyone would be willing to travel to the US to “help our friends across the pond elect their first female president”, according to The Telegraph.

The move has sparked criticism from Conservative figures and Republicans in the US, with many describing the plan as an “outrage.”
Labour has yet to officially comment on the matter, but the decision to send party staff to the US has already drawn significant media attention.
David Lammy, Shadow Foreign Secretary, has been a vocal critic of Trump in the past, making statements that could complicate any future diplomacy between the two nations if Labour takes power.
His past comments, calling Trump a “racist KKK and Nazi sympathizer,” have already drawn fire from Trump supporters.
