Russia set Britain on fire. Demand an inquiry.

The men who tried to set fire to Keir Starmer’s house were taking orders from Russia.

Our research alongside the BBC shows this was not an isolated plot. It was part of a wider Russian operation on British soil. 

Russian-linked networks recruited and directed extremists. They offered payment to far-right figures to praise Putin. They promoted Tommy Robinson demonstrations. They shared terrorist manuals. They ran fake “British” Telegram channels as riots burned across the country. 

This was not just typical foreign interference. It was an attempt to pour petrol on Britain’s divisions and turn communities against each other. 

They told far-right activists to spray anti-Muslim graffiti on mosques and incited Islamophobic terror attacks. At the same time, they were attempting to groom British Muslims into committing Islamist violence. They were not picking sides, they were lighting fires everywhere.

Previous investigations into Russian state interference were too narrow, and their warnings ignored. We can’t wait for the next attack. 

Add your name today and call on the government to launch a full public inquiry into Russian interference in British politics.
