Russia has been gradually stepping up its information warfare efforts against the UK for over a decade. Brexit was one of their first experiments. Burnham is setting up a new unit to fight Russian disinformation. Farage smears it as a "Ministry of Truth". The pieces are all there if you look.

PM’s new anti-disinformation unit gets cross-party backing, as Farage declares it an attack on free speech – UK politics live
Farage referred to the new unit and said Burnham was setting it up ‘using the excuse that Russia wants to interfere with elections’ The former Labour minister leading the government’s review into youth unemployment has written to 100 firms to ask them to provide work placements and jobs for young people, the Press Association reports. PA says: Alan Milburn, who was commissioned by former prime minister Keir Starmer to lead the government’s review into worklessness, has approached “business leaders” in sectors including rail, transport and utilities to ask them to provide more chances for young people. The Milburn review said Royal Mail, Octopus Energy, Greene King and Lloyds bank are among the companies who are already offering opportunities to school and university leavers. They are taking part in the review’s First Chance scheme, which has come from the review. Continue reading...
