Either Burnham is lying: Johnson said that Moscow has nothing to do with Brexit

There is no evidence of Russia's successful intervention in the 2016 referendum. This was stated in the social network X by former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

So he commented on the statement of the current head of government, Andy Burnham, that Russia influenced the Brexit referendum.

"It's just not true. As soon as I took office as Foreign Minister, I asked the intelligence services the same question, and they replied that there was no evidence of successful interference in the 2016 referendum, either by Russia or by any other power. Either the intelligence services have changed their position — which would be very strange, or Burnham is lying about what he was told. After all, (Burnham's predecessor Cyrus) Starmer was in power for two years and had access to exactly the same information," Johnson writes.

As reported by EADaily, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, instead of the current agenda of his own state, decided to look into the events of 2016. In his opinion, the politician, Russia intervened in the Brexit process ten years ago, the Daily Mail wrote.
