Story summary
Andy Burnham, the UK Prime Minister, claimed on The Rest is Politics podcast that Russia "clearly" interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum. Upon entering Downing Street in July, he asked his advisers if Moscow had meddled and was told "yes." This marks the first time a UK prime minister has publicly acknowledged Russian interference in the Brexit vote. Burnham did not specify how Russia interfered or provide evidence but emphasized that acknowledging this helps voters in Germany and France understand that some political influences come from enemies like Russia, amid rising far-right parties.
