British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit vote, as he warned voters in France and Germany about Moscow-backed efforts to influence their politics.
Burnham, who took over as Britain's leader in July and said last month that Britain could consider rejoining the European Union in the future, is the first British prime minister to say openly there was evidence of Russian interference in the referendum a decade ago.
"I asked the question coming to Downing Street, was there interference in the 2016 referendum from Russia? And I've had the clear answer that yes, there was," Burnham said in an interview with The Rest Is Politics podcast released on Sunday.
Burnham did not spell out how he believed that Russia interfered in the referendum and gave no details on what evidence this statement was based. The Russian embassy in London did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Russia has previously denied meddling in the Brexit vote, casting Britain as gripped by anti-Russian hysteria.
Burnham's comments mark a departure from those of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who campaigned to leave the EU, and said in 2020 there was no evidence of Russian interference in the referendum.
Britons voted 52%-48% to leave the EU in 2016, plunging the country into its biggest political crisis since World War Two.

Shovel it harder dude!
So the last 7 Prime Ministers missed this? Utter BS! Got the liberal fingerprints all over it just like here in the US.
London bankers have been pushing Russia, Russia, Russia for decades.
They may have tried.
If they did, they failed.
But the UK’s Deep State and Russia later fixed that little problem, didn’t they.
In a variety of ways.
And the UK has been paying for it since.
Is Russia ... in the room with us right now?
🤡🤡🤡
People are so stupid.
Yeah Russia did it. Not.
It’s called deflection.
The Royal Navy had a grand total of one warship available to put to sea at a moment’s notice.
Meanwhile, the number of illegal “migrant” invaders entering the UK is rising.
So let’s all concentrate on what happened in 2016. Better yet, I heard a rumor that Freemasons interfered in the 1066 Battle of Hastings. So let’s have an investigation into that.
“London bankers have been pushing Russia, Russia, Russia for decades.”
Russians like girls over the age of 12, and threaten Sadiq’s Islamic buddies’ sex trafficking of little English girls...
RUSSIA!, RUSSIA!, RUSSIA! …. RESURRECTION
England and France both need to destroy their nuclear weapons like South Africa did before the bad guys could get their hands on them .
I thought election denying was a crime?
Getting out of EU control and taking responsibility for their own nation is the only hope for the UK to survive. It may already be too late.
He’s creating a distraction from the hot mess that the failure of the government has caused the indigenous people of the UK by their orchestrated invasion by the Muslim cult.
Russia huh. Wowzer!
They better hurry up and get back in there then. Andy’s job going forward should be solely concentrated on working to rejoin the EU and repelling the Russia attack.
PS . .please don’t bother Andy anymore about those boats or raping hordes.
PSS. . lets hurry and get more missiles shipped out to Z man ASAP.
LOL, show us on the doll where Russia touched you.
The preverbal buggy man was behind it!
He sounds like one of those bimbos that comes forward, and announces they were sexually assaulted by some Hollywood Director 20 years earlier.
