Brexit: Jeremy Vine panel erupt in row over Russia
Political commentators Lowri Turner and Yasmin Alibhai-Brown engaged in a shouting match as the pair discussed Brexit and the potential intervention of Russia. While on the Jeremy Vine show, Ms Turner argued Remainers were using the recent release of the Intelligence Security Committee (ISC) report to patronise Brexiteers. The newly released document revealed that Russia has interfered in British politics over the last few years.
Ms Turner claimed Remainers were hoping to use this as another strategy to stop Brexit from happening.
She said: "Hang on Yasmin, I will say I don't like being classified as a Brexiteer.
"I have never called myself a Brexiteer, I voted Leave.
"It is not my life's work, I happened to vote Leave and I believe those that voted Leave should not have their views trashed by people.

Ms Alibhai-Brown took offence to these comments and snapped at Ms Turner.

"Nobody said people didn't know what they were doing.

"You keep saying there is no evidence, there is absolute and conclusive evidence."
