Andy Burnham has said Russia did interfere with the Brexit referendum and warned that similar activities were taking place in France and Germany.
The prime minister told The Rest is Politics podcast that upon arriving in No 10, he had asked about possible Russian interference in the 2016 vote, adding: “I’ve had the clear answer that, yes, there was.”
“I think we’ve been too much on the back foot on that actually and we haven’t informed people sufficiently about the extent to which people are seeking to disrupt the political process from overseas,” he added.
Fuck Russia but I think it is pretty clear that the big aggressor is the USA, and when they interfere then really nobody cares.
Interference from USA regarding the Brexit referendum was minimal and nothing compared to Russia.
As I mentioned Farage was financed by Russia, and it has also been very clear that Boris Johnson has close Russian ties.
And those were the two most significant and well funded proponents for Brexit.
UK cannot accuse America of interfering because they are allies and UK needs US more than US needs UK
Yes, foreign interference in an election of a sovereign country is against international law.
Europe also don’t meddle in US elections for the same reason. It’s also very much against democratic principles.
Something USA unfortunately has lost all respect for, so they have interfered multiple times in European elections. Most notably Germany and Hungary, since Trump became president.
