40% : Starmer also went on to say that Labour officials' involvement in the Harris-Walz campaign would not jeopardise this relationship with Trump if he wins, adding: "Of course as prime minister of the United Kingdom, I will work with whoever the American people return as their president in the elections that are very close now.
