lol. The tories are rattled. *now* they care about Russian interference
Of course the Russians are involved, & the Chinese & Iran. And the people most likely to fall for it at boomers who all their lives have told us to be careful of what we read and believe.
Self fulfilling prophecy at this point.
I think his reply is quite revealing:
> Mr Farage called it “cobblers” to claim bots generated by foreign state actors could interfere with the election outcome – as he launched a personal attack on Mr Dowden.
> Asked about the deputy PM’s comments, he told Trevor Phillips: “Oh, don’t talk cobblers.
> “I mean you had this bland fellow on earlier who apparently is the deputy prime minister, who no one knows who he is, and there he is saying, ‘oh, there are Russian bots involved’.
Reports are coming from the ABC, not from Dowden who is just commenting on their findings:
> The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) says it has been monitoring five co-ordinated Facebook pages which have been spouting Kremlin talking points, with some posting in support of Reform UK.
Yet he claims with straight face that the BBC and Channel 4 set him up.
So Putin wants Labour to win by splitting the conservative vote?
If only Boris had prioritised eliminating foreign influence in politics instead of voter ID….. But that wouldn’t have benefited his party.
Well, the UK’s MSM seem to be doing their best to screw Reform over, so maybe it all balances out.
Hey, we’ve known about this [since 2020](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/21/russia-report-reveals-uk-government-failed-to-address-kremlin-interference-scottish-referendum-brexit), but the Johnson administration couldn’t stop this report from being release and so decided to bury it with the world’s shittest NHS pay rise [on the same day](https://www.gov.uk/government/news/nhs-staff-to-receive-3-pay-rise).
Reddit will support this then as its giving Labour more seats.
Reds supporting reds
Another day another 4 to 5 articles hand wringing over Russia.
Schrödinger’s Russia is both a collapsed isolated state on the verge of defeat in Ukraine and a superpower on the verge of landing in Kent and brainwashing millions to vote Reform. Make it make sense.
