Foreign interference in UK elections

Trump and Theresa May.
Remember when Obama threatened British voters? They'd better not vote for Brexit, he told them. The United States just wouldn't have time to negotiate trade deals with Britain if they did. Support for Brexit increased by several percentage points as a result.

Now US Secretary of State Pompeo has been caught on tape promising a Jewish group in the UK that the United States will prevent Corbyn from becoming prime minister even if the Labor party wins the election.

I don't know if the Tories are colluding with the US election interference, but they haven't said a word against the US undermining what passes for their democracy.

Hopefully, this will get Corbyn elected.
