Summary

The Intelligence report into Russian interference in British elections and the Referendum is finally published this week – but what will it mean? Why are Brexiters so keen to discredit it? And are Tory backbenchers finally growing a spine? Ian Dunt sets the scene for what looks like a momentous week in British politics. “Eskimos supposedly have a thousand words for snow – and the Russian government has a thousand words for lie.” “The Russians are banking on domestic tribalism to prevent any serious response to their interference.” “The Tories are up to their necks in Russian donations.” “The Raab leak shows how inept and cynical the Government’s response to Russian interference has been.” Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producer Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
