@Bantafodder888 @LizWebsterSBF Not as much as Russia

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Former Head of MI6 Sir John Sawers, "Russia was very keen that the Leave campaign should succeed and that Britain should leave the European Union"

"Because that would marginalise Britain as a global player and weaken Europe in general"

"That's the strategic opportunity the Russians spotted, and the leaders of the Leave campaign fell into it"

My view: Former MI6 chief Sir John Sawers says Russia saw Brexit as a way to weaken Britain and divide Europe, and that the Leave campaign’s leaders walked straight into the opportunity.

So let’s remember who sold it:

VOTE LEAVE

• Boris Johnson — political figurehead
• Michael Gove and Gisela Stuart — campaign committee co-convenors
• Matthew Elliott — chief executive
• Dominic Cummings — campaign director
• Daniel Hannan — leading Brexit advocate
• Priti Patel, Iain Duncan Smith, Chris Grayling, John Whittingdale and Theresa Villiers — senior Conservative campaigners
• David Davis, Liam Fox, Dominic Raab, Steve Baker and Douglas Carswell — prominent Leave campaigners

LEAVE. EU

• Nigel Farage — leading political figure
• Arron Banks — co-chairman and major funder
• Andy Wigmore — communications director

GRASSROOTS OUT / LABOUR LEAVE

• Peter Bone and Tom Pursglove — Grassroots Out co-founders
• Kate Hoey — Grassroots Out co-founder and Labour Leave campaigner
• Graham Stringer, Kelvin Hopkins and Roger Godsiff — Labour Leave campaigners
• Sammy Wilson — prominent DUP Leave campaigner

They promised Brexit would make Britain stronger.

Sawers says Russia saw the opposite opportunity: a Britain marginalised and a Europe weakened.

@David_warren198 @andrewhesselden I don’t think tougher immigration will bother them. Should cheer up the Brexiteers though when we rejoin!

[Matthew ツ @LessAloof]

@Bantafodder888 @LizWebsterSBF Like Brexit

[Matthew ツ @LessAloof]

@51TJK I see some bots have survived… let’s hope more data centres get bombed

[Matthew ツ @LessAloof]

@John53872167350 @andrewhesselden And we will have another and rejoin!

Democracy in action!

[Matthew ツ @LessAloof]

@David_warren198 @andrewhesselden Then you get tougher rules on immigration.

@Bantafodder888 @LizWebsterSBF Dead cats bounce too

[Deirdre Costigan MP @deirdrecostigan]

I'm angry that so many of my constituents who voted to Leave the EU did so because they were bombarded by lies. That’s why @andyburnham’s announcement of a National Centre for Information Defence matters, fighting foreign state influence in our democracy.

@JohnDocher68541 @GeordieApe Imagine the moaning when we rejoin… can’t wait! 😂😂😂

[Matthew ツ @LessAloof]

@muffmasterh @GeordieApe Brexit

One of the men in this picture is a politician currently serving 10 and a half years in prison for accepting Russian bribes. The other was his boss and doesn't think there's evidence of Russia interfering in UK politics.

Zelensky on the torching of data centers that house Russian bots.
Brilliant.

😂♥️🇺🇦

[Rt Hon. Will || Portfolio for Sarcasm (parody) @colder_sarcasm]

It’s incredible how many Reform supporting gammons are scoffing at the statement that there was Russian interference in Brexit when Reform’s Nathan Gill was literally sent to prison for taking Russian bribes. 👀

[Politics For You @PoliticoForYou]

🚨 Online traffic to the entire European far-right collapsing after a successful Ukrainian attack on a Russian data centre feels like quite a big story.

[🇬🇧King 🇬🇧 @King0243_PJC]

My thoughts and prayers for Nigel Farage, Rupert Lowe and their Reform bot farm. They have all gone up in flames
