General election news LIVE: Boris Johnson wants to 'get to the bottom' of alleged Russian interference amid leaked documents row

Boris Johnson said “we need to get to the bottom” of a controversy surrounding the source of leaked documents that Labour claim show that the Tories are planning to sell off the NHS.

Social media platform Reddit said the documents were disclosed as “part of a campaign that has been reported as originating from Russia”.

Labour claims the leaked papers showed the Government was at an advanced stage of negotiations with the US to open up the NHS to US big business.

It comes after Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson clashed on a head-to-head TV debate last night.
