      Is this news anymore? Russia as been meddling in every election since 2016, very possibly earlier.

      I think this is far worse than we expected. Yesterday, I saw a comment on a post where somebody claimed Sunak was competent. Disinformation is everywhere.

      I’m sure the US never meddle in the elections of other countries do they

      They’ll try to install a like minded leftist government who’ll end their pariah status.

      Labour are leading by 20+ percentage points – what meddling are they going to do?

      Putin “how can we fuck this up for them?”.

      His right hand man “its already fucked”

      Russia’s goal is to increase internal instability. A specific stable result is not the goal.

      You’d imagine they would. The British state has an extensive track record of financial and political support for opposition groups across the ex-Soviet world (both overt and covert) – it’d be absurd for our political class and intelligence agencies *not* to expect retaliatory measures.

      Russia isn’t very good at influence operations in Western European countries, though. The most pro-Moscow figure in British politics is George Galloway, whose party has been a nonentity in this campaign with minimal media coverage. He is likely to lose his seat.

      As opposed to the american republican party who have been meddling in the Uk elections for years.

      Expected? They already are. The amount of fake Reform polls I’ve seen have been unreal.

      Yep, Farage and all the deepfake stuff that was reported the other day…. it’s clear they’re meddling

      When Russians were making all those donations to the Conservative Party, were they not meddling?

      LOL, we don’t need Russia to ruin the country, we have done it ourselves with the successive inept governments.

      How? I don’t think even Russia can stop the inevitable Labour landslide at this point.

      At this point, I don’t think there’s any amount of funding or underhand tactics that Russia could pull to get the tories back into power

      Not the first time, or only time. I would be surprised if they didn’t.

      It is a visible symptom of the rot which is so persistent in politics, when there are no detrimental consequences to your career for being dishonest, incompetent or accountable. You just move along to the next gravy train working for a big organisation run by one of your affluent donors, a mysterious think tank with links to your political party or one of your millionaire pals who has been benefitting from your position.

      I think he means “Is” meddling right now, with Putin Fluffer Nige on post and spewing away.

      Almost any form of Tory praise would be so obviously seen as disinformation, it’s laughable. Their own doners are coming out supporting Labour. Their own MPs are saying the party is unvoteable.

      So that leaves us with Reform. Who again are so openly and obviously a joke that all they can really do is further split the Tory vote, not really gain on Labours huge lead.

      Not to mention, the majority of people are now wise to this sort of bullshit and can spot it a mile off.

      So the only people this kind of thing captures now are the same idiots who would have voted Reform anyway and think covid injected 5g into their brainwaves.
