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.

How does this comment add anything to the conversation? Instead of showing proofs that Russia is behind CA interference in Brexit I hear only insults.

Are you gonna cry because you were called out for being a campist? Because it sounds a lot like it.
