Burnham says Russia interfered in 2016 Brexit vote
Original: andy burnham brexit
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum, according to Reuters. The statement reignites one of the most contested questions in British politics, years after the vote on EU membership and previous calls for a full inquiry into foreign interference. Reaction is likely to focus on what evidence supports the claim and what it means for the legitimacy of the referendum result.
Why now: A sitting prime minister publicly asserting Russian interference in the Brexit vote is a striking political statement that reopens a long-running controversy.
