LONDON - The social media platform Reddit says a dossier leaked days before Britain’s general election is linked to a Russian campaign, banning 61 accounts suspected of violating policies against vote manipulation. Reddit said Friday the suspect accounts shared the same pattern of activity as a Russian operation dubbed “Secondary Infektion” uncovered earlier this year. Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn said the 451 pages of documents, which covered six rounds of preliminary talks between U.S. and U.K. negotiators, proved Johnson was planning to put the NHS “up for sale” in trade talks. Critics have questioned the British government’s failure to release a Parliament intelligence committee report on previous Russian interference in the country’s politics. They say it should have been made public before Thursday’s vote, which will elect all 650 lawmakers in the House of Commons.
