What should the British left make of the US presidential election?
Getting bogged down in the Trump v Harris divide is a distraction from the tasks of ending US hegemony and Britain’s subservience to Washington’s demands, argues ANDREW MURRAY

TRUMP or Harris?  An unavoidable issue for any readers in the US, but not one most of us have to confront.

For the left in Britain it is the wrong question anyway. There is no good answer and chewing on it diverts our attention from where it should be — ending the hegemonic power and domineering aspirations of the US, and Britain’s alliance with it.

Happy the day when the result of US presidential elections is of interest exclusively to US citizens. That is what we should work for.

Rest easy, man
