An Intelligence Report Will Say UK Spy Agencies Found No Evidence Of Russian State Interference In The Outcome Of The Brexit Referendum
The UKs intelligence agencies have found no evidence that the Russian state interfered in the outcome of the Brexit referendum and the 2017 general election, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the findings in an as-yet unpublished report from Parliaments Intelligence and Security Committee.

The scope of the committees investigation was on the Russian threat to the UK, and its understood that direct Russian state interference in the outcome of the referendum and last election was just one of the areas assessed.
While sources say no evidence was found to substantiate that, the report could still produce evidence of other hostile acts or attempts to influence politics by Russia against the UK.
It has been reported that the dossier also covers cyber-security attacks and continued cyber threats as well as the influence of Russian money flowing into UK politics, and that this could contain revelations that would be embarrassing to the Conservative party.

The issue of Tory funding interests me more than any shenanigans that may have occurred on social media etc. We know that various Russian donors have been generous to Tories - paying large sums for "a round of golf", for instance, which is no doubt the least of it.
One question is whether such donations have been made as part of a concerted Russian state campaign or are just everyday examples of Russian oligarchs currying favour for their own benefit.
