Leaked Russian interference report raises U.K. vote questions
[Ynet] A senior Labour party official says leaks from a report on Russian interference in British politics raises serious questions about the security of next month's election.

The Sunday Times says the report from Parliament's intelligence committee concludes that Russian interference may have affected Britain's 2016 Brexit referendum, though the impact was unquantifiable. The Times says the report discusses the impact of articles posted by Russian new sites that were widely disseminated on social media.
I guess claims of Russian interference will be integral part of any "western" elections annoying EUSSR and friends (such as USA 2016) from now on
Given that there have been Soviet [Russian!!!] spies and fellow travelers throughout the the Labour Party and the bureaucracy since the 1920s or ‘30s, I’m not sure what is different or concerning about the Brexit vote.
