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.

For those not following events in NI over the last few weeks, something seismic is happening, much sooner than expected. A huge group of people from a protestant/unionist background came out in support of nationalists under siege by the Orange Order. The UK re-joining the EU won't stop this now.

To use technical terminology, utter bollocks. It is repeatedly shown that rhetoric like this causes more harm to inclusive communities than migration or differences in race, religion etc. The whole "no go zones" is a well worn, and well disproven, far right trope. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
