Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum, prompting Reform UK leader Nigel Farage to call him a 'liar.' Burnham made the claim on The Rest Is Politics podcast after saying he had asked security officials about Moscow's involvement when he entered Downing Street in July.
Burnham said he had received a clear answer that interference had occurred, but did not identify who gave him the assessment or explain the evidence behind it. The government has maintained that Russian attempts to interfere were unsuccessful and that the referendum result remains legitimate.
