Boris Johnson and his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, have sparred over the issue of alleged Russian meddling in the Brexit referendum. They clashed during the first visit by a British foreign secretary to Moscow for five years. Lavrov made the latest in a series of blanket Russian denials of interference in western votes, and said Johnson himself had said there was 'no evidence of Russian interference in the Brexit referendum'. Johnson corrected Lavrov, saying: 'Not successfully, is what I said.'
