Leak of classified UK-US trade documents online, tied to a previous Russian disinformation campaign, implies an attempt to interfere in Britain's upcoming election - British minister

Opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn gestures as British Prime Minister Boris Johnson looks on during a head-to-head debate on the BBC in London, Britain December 6, 2019.

The NHS, much loved by Britons, has become a major issue in campaigning for the December 12 election, polls ahead of which show Labour trailing the Conservatives. The government has said it is looking into the matter with support from the National Cyber Security Centre, part of the GCHQ signals intelligence agency.

"We obtained those documents, we believe those documents to be correct and nobody until yesterday had denied the correctness of those documents," Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told Sky News. The government says there has been no successful attempt to meddle in British elections but critics have said Johnson sat on the report because it might contain embarrassing revelations about his Conservative Party's links.
