Why on earth does this BBC piece on Burnham telling an interviewer the UK security services confirmed Russian interference in the Brexit referendum require a response from a pro Brexit pressure group? It's literally our Prime Minister telling us about election security. It's nothing to do with them.

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.

Burnham did not provide further details about the type or extent of Moscow's activity during the Brexit referendum.

Britain Unbound, a pro-Brexit campaign group, said Burnham's comments were "another crude attempt to undermine the legitimacy of the decision that the British people made in 2016".

It said that foreign interference in UK elections was "obviously unacceptable" but added: "There is no good reason to believe that Russian intervention influenced the outcome of the referendum in 2016.

It's been Reform's policy to "suspend" the asylum system for at least a year, and you'd expect, given their puppyish enthusiasm for reporting everything Nigel Farage says, that someone at the BBC would point this out rather than suggesting this is a new "announcement"

bbc.co.uk

Reform pledges to suspend asylum system for up to five years and deport claimants

All asylum applications would be rejected and existing ones voided, with all claimants marked for deportation.

A year on, the Conservatives are doing better in the polls, but that looks largely down to Reform shitting itself quite visibly in public. So, looking at their conference, is there any substance to this “Kemaissance”? Honestly? I'm not convinced.

The correct response to this would be to make all the evidence used to draw the conclusion public, then challenge Farage to respond, otherwise people will just pick their opinions on the matter based purely on who they trust.

“The political, strategic and economic momentum for a reversal of Brexit is growing” and ultimately, despite - and maybe partly because of - the idiotic Tory and Reform tantrums about it, it’s becoming unstoppable. Where there’s a will, there will be a way… giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Beyond the difficult technical negotiations involved in reversing Brexit, it is the bigger strategic question that really matters. Do both sides see a common interest in Britain rejoining the EU? If the answer to that is a clear yes - then it can and should happen.
