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 easy to be cynical, but it would be false. Something extraordinary is happening here.

Can’t eat a sandwich until you subscribe to sandwiches. Can’t eat today’s sandwich until it has applied daily sandwich updates. Sandwich now has adverts even though you paid for ad-free sandwich. Can pay again to have less sandwich adverts. Now you can eat the sandwich, but it’s smaller.

The cloud isn’t in the sky – it’s in someone else’s datacentre. AI gets the headlines, but the datacentre boom started long before chatbots. And increasingly, almost everything we do online depends on it. Guy Chapman explains

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

So, if I understand Nigel Farage's argument correctly it is: "Everyone I trusted and elevated into a position of responsibility is constantly doing crimes that benefit me but of which I somehow have no knowledge. I am a man with the character, judgement, and intelligence to run the country." Ok.

An very under-reported aspect of the Verbatim sting. James Orr admitting that Reform cannot secure funding from British entities #politicslive #wato #bbcpm #r4today
Tweet by @Trilbeereviews: The most interesting part of this report is James Orr admitting on camera that there's very little financial support for Reform coming from the UK.

The vast majority of their donations come from abroad.

Foreign money trying to destroy UK democracy with Farage as the vessel.

Carbon emissions from just two planned datacentres in England will exceed all of ExxonMobil’s UK fossil fuel emissions. Bad for health, environment. Huge pressure on energy/water supplies Few long-term jobs generated Local people, not ministers, must decide if they want datacentres.
