Andy Burnham has said it is clear that Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum, reigniting debate over foreign meddling in the UK's decision to leave the European Union. The Greater Manchester mayor's intervention is drawing attention to longstanding questions about Russian influence in British politics and the extent to which the issue remains unresolved nearly a decade after the vote.

Why now: A prominent Labour figure has revived claims of Russian interference in the Brexit vote, a politically charged and contested issue.
