Former President Donald J. Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., has warned Britain’s governing Labour Party is damaging the British-American special relationship by intervening in the U.S. election on behalf of Kamala Harris. He also had harsh words for the British state’s turn towards authoritarianism, calling it “disgusting.”

Asked by the British media whether Labour Party staffers traveling to the U.S. to campaign for Harris would “damage the special relationship,” Don Jr. said it was “certainly not a great start, because it’s clear what they’re doing.”

Speaking on the state of the United Kingdom more generally, he added: “It’s absolute lunacy what I see going on in the UK right now… They’re jailing people for misgendering someone; honestly, it’s disgusting, and they should be ashamed of themselves.”

Britain lacks robust, First Amendment-style free speech protections, with citizens being liable for arrest and even imprisonment for causing offense. Last year, an autistic minor was arrested for a “homophobic public order offense” after saying a policewoman with short hair reminded her of her “lesbian nana.” [🤣]

In recent months, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) launched a threatening campaign warning social media users to “Think before you post,” saying action would be taken against so-called “online violence” and content spreading “hatred.”
