Oct. 31, 2024—An explosive set of reports came out over the past few months that open a window into interference, by the British government, in the American presidential election. These allegations led the Trump/Vance presidential campaign to file a lawsuit on October 21, alleging "...illegal foreign national contributions made by the Labour Party of the United Kingdom and accepted by Harris for President."
The official complaint begins,
When representatives of the British government previously sought to go door-to-door in America, it did not end well for them. This past week marked the 243rd anniversary of the surrender of British forces at the Battle of Yorktown, a military victory that ensured that the United States would be politically independent of Great Britain. It appears that the Labour Party and the Harris for President campaign have forgotten the message.
The goal of such influence, according to various reports, all in public articles, is that the new Labour Party government, led by Keir Starmer, desperately wants to preserve the US-UK Special Relationship. Indeed, they are a bit terrified by the prospect of a Trump Presidency, and have taken it upon themselves to teach the Democratic Party's presidential campaign a thing or two about winning the vote of the new working class.
However, readers of EIR know that the British have a long history of meddling in the internal affairs of the United States, up to and including assassination of sitting presidents. Their goal is always to prevent the outbreak of the American System of Economics, championed by patriots like Henry C. Carey, President Lincoln’s economic advisor on tariff and national banking policy, and Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., leading physical economist of the 20th Century. Their method, since they failed to break the nation during our Civil War, has since shifted to using psychological warfare in attempts to crush the ability of Americans to think clearly about their role in the world.
This brief article provides a summary of what was presented in the latest news articles, followed by short profiles of two of the main organizations in the United States operating as British proxies.
Cover, Blown
Back in August 2024, the Labour Party sent a delegation to Chicago for the Democratic Convention, in order to cement an advisory position with the incoming Harris/Walz campaign. That delegation was helmed by Starmer's "Karl Rove," Morgan McSweeney, who guided Labour's campaign to a landslide victory in July of this year. Other significant attendees were: Matthew Doyle, Downing Street Director of Communications; Jonathan Ashworth, head of Labour Together, the main political think tank advising the Labour Party; Deborah Matinson, former top adviser to Starmer, and veteran of the Blair New Labour years; and David Evans, General Secretary of the Labour Party. Also in attendance was Claire Ainsley, British national, who currently works at the Washington DC-based think tank, Progressive Policy Institute, as Director of the Project on Center-Left Renewal.
On October 17, Sofia Patel, head of operations for the Labour Party, followed up the August visit with an advertisement on LinkedIn to British citizens who would like to go stump for the Harris/Walz campaign in U.S. swing states—funded by the Labour Party. Patel herself claims to have campaigned for Hillary Clinton back in 2016. Patel's advertisement was quickly pounced on by the expected lawmakers, such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), as well as by Elon Musk, who tweeted "this is illegal."
On October 22, journalists Paul Thacker and Matt Taibbi broke a story, reporting that a set of PowerPoint slides had been leaked from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), that specifically targets Musk's X (Twitter) for take down—"Kill Musk's Twitter." These documents also highlight the CCDH's efforts to lobby significant American lawmakers, such as former presidential candidate Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), to enhance government efforts to censor online outlets broadcasting “inconvenient” news and viewpoints, such as X. Sen. Klobuchar herself has repeatedly introduced bills in Congress for exactly the kind of censorship CCDH advocates.
Thacker and Taibbi also describe the role of Morgan McSweeney. McSweeney is given credit for masterminding Keir Starmer's rise to power, and created not only the British NGO Labour Together, but co-founded the CCDH.

The mission of the CCDH is to crush any person or institution that expresses criticism of the main tenets of what can be termed, “The New Liberalism.” According to this doctrine, certain beliefs are held to be unassailable truths, and questioning their veracity should be punishable by law. Examples: white people are racist; climate change is due to man-made carbon dioxide; COVID vaccines are 100% safe and effective, and so on.
The CCDH was originally founded in England as Brixton Endeavours Ltd. in 2018 by Morgan McSweeney and Imran Ahmed. Within a year, the name was changed to its current manifestation, and McSweeney resigned his position as director. Ahmed has been the director since 2021, when he moved to Washington DC, opened a U.S. branch of the CCDH, and quickly achieved 501(c)(3) status for his outfit, as a U.S. non-profit.
Ahmed himself gained fame in 2016, when he was serving as head of communications for MP Angela Eagle. Eagle was the key Labour Party MP whose challenge to Jeremy Corbyn led to his resignation as the Labour Party leader. Corbyn, an unusual leader in England who supported both Glass-Steagall-type banking reforms in the UK and the BRICS process internationally, was hounded by the London liberal press and by Tony Blair’s liberal imperialist (LIMP) lackeys on accusations that Corbyn was anti-semitic. His subsequent resignation opened the door to a realignment of Labour's values to what finally prevailed with Starmer's victory.
Besides focusing attacks on X (Twitter) and its users—such as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.—CCDH also has a history of attacking Google. In 2023, CCDH launched a campaign to cut ad revenue on Google because of accusations that it highlighted results that favor climate change denial, the Wuhan lab theory of COVID's origins, and news stories that portray George Soros unfavorably(!). This campaign succeeded when Google severely limited the number of search results for many conservative news outlets, such as Breitbart News and The Daily Wire, and completely removed Zero Hedge from its ad platform.
Profile: Progressive Policy Institute
Another organization operating inside the U.S., which should be considered a proxy for the British Empire, is the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI).
Readers of EIR may remember the PPI as the think tank founded by the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) back in 1989, as part of the New Democrats operation. This heist transformed the Democratic Party away from its Franklin Roosevelt roots as a party of the Forgotten Man, and into a party for the college-educated elite and Wall Street. For example, PPI's work led to the Neocon infestation of the Democratic Party, such as during the McCain-Lieberman "Bull Moose" fiasco, intended to nudge the Dems to support regime change wars around the world.
The PPI organizes itself around projects. One of these, the Project on Center-Left Renewal, is the main operation currently feeding the Harris/Walz campaign's strategy to woo the American middle class away from Trump. The project’s manifesto includes explicit attacks on "radical right-wing populism," the “neo-nationalists [who] deeply mistrust their own governments, avidly consume conspiracy theories and admire authoritarian rulers like Vladimir Putin.”
The director of this project is British national Claire Ainsley, author of The New Working Class: How to Win Hearts, Minds and Votes (2018).
Before moving to the United States in 2023 to subvert our national identity on behalf of London, Ainsley worked for two years in the Labour Party as Executive Director of Policy. In such capacity, Ainsley helped craft the new pillars of Labour’s platform, which manifested as the two key policies in Keir Starmer’s campaign. They are, to “Smash the Gangs,” where Starmer flaunted his law background by promising to prosecute any illegal activities among the recent flood of migrants; and to make a “New Deal for the Working Class,” to help improve wages and housing options among the demographic that had fled to the Conservative Party since Tony Blair’s term in office.
While these goals may appear noble on the surface, it should be recalled that the flood of migrants was caused directly by the spread of regime-change wars and NATO-sponsored warfare around Russia and China—backed by both Labour and Conservative Parties; and, similarly, programs for “helping the workers” mean, in practice, influxes of government funds deployed to plug gaping holes in financial institutions, and increased debt burdens on those workers the New Deal was supposed to help.
Kick Against the Pricks
An outside observer of the Harris/Walz presidential campaign would be forgiven for thinking its only message is that, “Trump is Hitler.” But the other two major campaign pillars are that a Harris Administration will, 1) vigorously prosecute illegal immigrants who commit crimes in the U.S., and 2) help the middle class build wealth, such as by helping them take on severely-inflated mortgages. Compare this with the Starmer campaign promises crafted by people like McSweeny and Ainsley.
The similarity is no coincidence. Neither the Labour Party leadership, nor the current leadership of the Democratic Party, care much about the welfare of the Forgotten Man today. They simply care about remaining in power to serve their real leaders in London and on Wall Street.
So, if you find yourself nodding your head, thinking "yeah, Harris wants to help the working people," you may have just become a sucker for another anti-American, British operation.
