The Labour Party fought off charges that it was interfering in the American election yesterday after it emerged that a contingent of party workers had crossed the Atlantic to campaign for Hillary Clinton. About eight staff, most of them in their twenties, who normally work as researchers for Labour MPs took time off to join Mrs Clinton’s campaign for a Senate seat in New York and stayed in spartan conditions in a South Bronx convent for more than a week before flying home last night. Despite their incongruous accents, the British politicos — dubbed “Blair’s Clintonistas” — pounded the pavements on Mrs Clinton’s behalf in the affluent New York suburbs of Westchester County and made telephone calls to potential voters. “A lot of people want to come over and just taste the campaign,” a Labour party source said. “To me it’s like a hop-picking holiday in Kent or going to a kibbutz in Israel.” Another party activist called the trip “electo-tourism”. thetimes.co.uk
