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.

    Why do you need to make Russian interference into US propaganda?
    You sound like a tankie when you do that.

      I’m saying blaming the decline of the west mainly on Russian disinfo is propaganda.

          OP blames one party for brexit without mentioning any other influence.

          So no, it’s not a strawman. I’m constantly shocked by the low quality and complete failure to understand basic logic by most lemmy posters. Or maybe you’re being deliberately obtuse.
