Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, has said Russia interfered in Britain's 2016 referendum on leaving the European Union. The claim, reported by the Financial Times, adds to long-running controversy over foreign influence in the Brexit campaign, which a UK parliamentary inquiry previously examined without reaching a definitive conclusion. Supporters of remaining in the EU have repeatedly raised the allegation, while Leave campaigners reject it.
