Andy Burnham said on a podcast appearance that, since becoming prime minister, he's been told that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum. It raised questions about whether the prime minister believes the result of the referendum was legitimate, which Tory leader Kemi Badenoch questioned Burnham on in the House of Commons. Labour peer Harriet Harman and former Tory chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng debate whether the prime minister rowed back on his podcast comments in the Commons. Then Cathy Newman speaks to Labour MP Dame Emily Thornberry, chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, about whether opening up old Brexit wounds is the right thing for the country. #Brexit #Russia #AndyBurnham #BrexitVote #BrexitReferendum #UKPolitics #PoliticsNews #CathyNewmanShow #RussiaInterference #kemibadenoch SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follo
