Actress Lena Dunham has endorsed the Labour Party, saying that Jeremy Corbyn is a “chance at a fair and just leader who will temper the fascism and darkness” she sees in America.

“We here in America have watched in horror as our siblings in the UK have been attacked these past weeks and our president has been unable to offer so much as a word of condolence, only using this to push forward his racist and xenophobic agenda,” she wrote in an Instagram post.

Dunham urged her fans in the UK to vote Labour, and that she would do the same if she had a British passport. She said that pushing back on the proliferation of far-right ideologies that she feels are embodied in Donald Trump is important for British voters because the two nations “no longer have the option to pretend that what happens in Britain or America is separate.”

The creator of the hit HBO series “Girls” is no stranger to having a political voice. She was an outspoken supporter of Mr Trump’s 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton, and spoke during the Democratic National Convention that year. She has frequently voiced concern and support for members of marginalised communities many say Mr Trump’s presidency threatens, and is known for reaching out to members of those communities.
