Jeremy Corbyn has been caught campaigning to elect "communist" candidate Zohran Mamdani ahead of the New York mayoral election on Tuesday.
On Sunday, the Your Party boss announced on social media that he would be manning the phones for Mr Mamdani's campaign alongside the New York City Democratic Socialists of America (NYCDSA).
The NYCDSA billed Mr Corbyn as a former Labour leader, not as the co-leader of Your Party.
Mr Corbyn wrote: "I'm hosting a phone bank with NYCDSA to Get Out The Vote for Zohran Mamdani today.
"Let’s get Zohran over the finish line for a New York that’s affordable for all!"
Mr Corbyn's appearance at the fundraiser drew criticism from Mr Mamdani's independent opponent Andrew Cuomo.
The ex-Governor of New York said: “Having Jeremy Corbyn - someone whose party was found to have committed unlawful acts of discrimination against Jewish people under his leadership - phone-banking for Zohran Mamdani says everything you need to know.
“New York doesn’t need the politics of moral compromise. We need leadership that rejects antisemitism, extremism, and division in every form and in every corner."
Mr Cuomo was referencing the EHRC report on Labour which found the party had committed unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination due to a leadership failure to properly tackle antisemitism.

Responding to the report at the time, Mr Corbyn vowed "one antisemite is one too many", but claimed the scale of the problem within Labour had been "dramatically overstated for political reasons".
For that, he was suspended by his successor, Sir Keir Starmer.
Mr Corbyn's apparent interference in the New York elections comes after he lambasted Donald Trump for weighing in to Britain's own.
Before his 2019 General Election blowout, the then-Labour chief accused Donald Trump of meddling in British democracy.
He said at the time: "President Trump's attempt to decide who will be Britain's next PM is entirely unacceptable interference in our democracy".

Mr Mamdani is the overwhelming favourite to win Tuesday's election after eclipsing the former Governor in the Democratic primary in June.
Last night, Mr Trump labelled him a "communist".
Mr Trump said: "It’s going to be hard for me as the President to give a lot of money to New York.
"Because if you have a communist running New York, all you’re doing is wasting the money you’re sending there.
"So I don’t know that he’s won, and I’m not a fan of Cuomo one way or another, but if it’s going to be between a bad Democrat and a communist, I’m going to pick the bad Democrat all the time, to be honest with you."

| GETTYMr Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda - but moved to New York City with his family when he was seven years old.
The self-proclaimed socialist - an Arsenal fan, like Mr Corbyn - has risen to popularity on the promise of increasing the affordability of the city through meaures such as rent freezes for millions, free bus fares and publicly-owned supermarkets.
The 34-year-old has said that higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations can foot the bill. But think tanks such as the Cato Institute have said the proposals are "wishful thinking".
The Democrat candidate is backed by Corbyn-ally and veteran socialist Bernie Sanders, who has said Mr Mamdani is on the verge of pulling off "one of the great political upsets in modern American history".
