Russia interfered in Brexit referendum, UK prime minister says
Russia interfered in the 2016 referendum on the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said on the podcast The Rest Is Politics.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham claims Russia interfered in the 2016 UK referendum on leaving the European Union. Upon assuming office, Burnham asked whether Russian interference occurred, to which he received a clear affirmative response. Burnham believes the UK has been too passive in addressing foreign attempts to disrupt political processes.
The referendum, held in June 2016, saw 51.9% of voters opt for UK withdrawal from the EU, with the official membership termination occurring in 2020.
