British Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s claims regarding Russian interference in the Brexit referendum have come under scrutiny.
Globalinfo.az reports that Alexey Pushkov, Chairman of the Federation Council Commission on Information Policy and Media Relations, addressed the matter on his Telegram channel.
Burnham’s remarks left the Russian senator bewildered.
“It is impossible to explain how Russians could have induced distant British citizens to vote to leave the European Union. But this does not bother the Prime Minister,” Pushkov said.
He also ironically suggested that the British Prime Minister investigate whether Russians might also have been behind King Henry II’s murder of Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Becket in 1170.
Andy Burnham had earlier accused Russia of directly interfering in the referendum on the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union.
