That is the only decision he could take. So I don't accept the inuendo. Timing the release of the report for now is clearly itself political.

I can tell you that the EU tried very hard to influence the election in favour of Remain. So Russia isn't unique in this case.

And I can also tell you that scepticism about Europe has been an issue for the UK since before Putin became president of Russia.

Seems to me this is just Remain supporters trying it on, as usual. More sour grapes from the losers.

Brexit won and remains more popular than Remain in most polls.

Boris Johnson Blocks Report on Russia’s Role in Brexit Until After Election

Well, this isn’t suspicious at all. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has decided to block the publication of a report on Russia’s role in the 2016 Brexit referendum until after next month’s general election, The Guardian reports.

The report, written by a British Parliament committee, examined allegations that Russia influenced the result of the 2016 vote.

It can’t be published until it has been cleared by Johnson’s office at 10 Downing Street.

In a statement Monday, a Downing Street spokesman declined to explain when the report would be published, saying: “There are processes reports such as this have to go through before publication, and the committee is well informed of these.”

Opposition leaders have accused Johnson of attempting a cover-up—Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the document has to be published and asked what the government “has got to hide.” Johnson was one of the leaders of the successful Brexit campaign three years ago.
