UK PM says Russia interfered in Brexit vote, warns Europe faces same threat

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has accused Russia of interfering in Britain's 2016 vote to leave the European Union, warning that countries across Europe face the same threat.In excerpts from an episode of “The Rest Is Politics” podcast released on Sunday, Burnham said he asked his advisers after becoming prime minister in July whether Russia had interfered in the Brexit referendum.“I've had the clear answer that yes, there was,” Burnham said.“These things are important now to put clearly on the record and I believe help voters in Germany and France understand that some of this politics is instigated via our enemies, namely Russia,” he added.Burnham's remarks come amid warnings from UK intelligence agencies about the growing threat of Russian interference in Britain's democratic institutions.
