Moldovans have voted “yes” by a wafer-thin majority to joining the European Union in a referendum that was held amid “unprecedented interference” by foreign powers. That is the view of the EU, whose spokesman, Peter Stano, accused Russia and its proxies of “aiming to destabilize the democratic processes in the Republic of Moldova.”The EU and its proxies know a thing or two about destabilizing the democratic processes.

It’s the question all of Westminster is asking. If Donald Trump wins, who will be our next man in Washington?

Donald Trump’s campaign has submitted an official complaint accusing Britain’s governing Labour Party of breaking US electoral law over the secondment of volunteers, just days after Nigel Farage accused Labour of “election interference” over its party advisors headed stateside to canvass for Kamala Harris. Now leaked documents thought to have originated from a Labour-linked group suggest the lefty lot may also be looking to attack Elon Musk’s Twitter as part of their pro-Kamala efforts.
