A senior Trump-world lawyer has accused Jeremy Corbyn, yes, that Jeremy Corbyn- of meddling in the American election. Harmeet Dhillon, a prominent Republican attorney who serves as an Assistant Attorney General (AAG) in Department Of Justice and remains a vocal Trump ally, claimed on X that the former U.K. Labour leader was interfering in U.S. politics. The irony? Corbyn once accused Donald Trump of doing the exact same thing– “interfering” in Britain’s 2019 election to help Boris Johnson. Now the accuser has become the accused. And with that, politics once again proves it has no sense of shame, proportion, or consistency.
The Great Irony
In 2019, Jeremy Corbyn declared that Donald Trump was “trying to interfere in Britain’s election to get his friend Boris elected.” The British press went into overdrive. It was an international scandal- or at least, it looked like one.
Fast-forward to 2025, and we’re seeing the same accusation spun the other way. Dhillon’s claim that Corbyn is “interfering” in an American election turns an irrelevant comment into a headline, perfectly designed to feed the outrage machine. Corbyn, now a backbench MP with limited reach and zero formal power, is hardly a geopolitical puppet master. To call his remarks “interference” is like calling a tweet a nuclear strike.
The Outrage Economy
“Foreign interference” used to mean espionage, cyber-attacks, or dark-money campaigns. Now it just means someone abroad said something we don’t like.
And that’s the real story here. Politics has become a performance economy, where outrage equals relevance. Every side accuses the other of interference, collusion, or betrayal, knowing it’ll spark headlines and hashtags.
The Left and Right are now mirrors of each other:
When Trump praised Boris Johnson, Corbyn cried foul. When Corbyn criticizes U.S. conservatives, Trump’s circle screams “foreign meddling.” It’s not ideology anymore. It’s choreography.

The Global Circus
The Dhillon-Corbyn spat is a symptom of something bigger: the globalisation of political theatre. Domestic debates no longer stay domestic.
A British MP’s opinion makes headlines in New York. A U.S. pundit’s soundbite trends in London. Every country’s internal argument spills across borders and gets reframed for clicks. This is not diplomacy, it’s digital chaos. And it’s turning democracy into a spectator sport where everyone’s booing, but no one’s governing.
Hypocrisy Has Become Policy
The funniest part? Both sides know exactly what they’re doing.
Corbyn used “foreign interference” to score moral points in 2019. Dhillon is now doing the same. The outrage is scripted. The hypocrisy is bipartisan. Nobody cares about consistency anymore, only about how fast their post can go viral.

Jeremy Corbyn isn’t interfering in an American election. Harmeet Dhillon knows that. Everyone knows that. But the claim still works, because it feeds the new engine of politics, attention. Politics today isn’t about truth, policy, or leadership. It’s about creating noise loud enough to drown out everything else. And that’s exactly what this story represents: a meaningless accusation dressed up as scandal, amplified by people who mistake content for consequence.
Brinkmanship, hypocrisy, and performative outrage have replaced debate. The circus must end, or politics itself will collapse under the weight of its own absurdity.
