‘He was a liar and he was caught out’ — Vance on Burnham’s Brexit claims

Andy Burnham says Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum. Challenged in the House of Commons, he denies questioning the result’s legitimacy and points to Russian interference attempts in the 2019 general election.

Boris Johnson fires back, saying security services previously told him there was no evidence of successful interference in the Brexit vote.

Media commentator, author and podcaster David Vance examines the clash between Burnham’s podcast remarks and his parliamentary response. He accuses the prime minister of deflecting scrutiny of his Manchester record and argues that Labour and British media use Russia as a political scapegoat.
