Andy Burnham confirms what previous PM's - May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak and Starmer - failed to, that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum.

For years Carole Cadwalladr was mocked, threatened, sued and treated as though asking inconvenient questions were the offence. Now we are told there was clear Russian interference in the Brexit vote. How terribly awkward for everyone who spent years trying to discredit the woman asking why.
