Halt Brexit pending public inquiry into disinformation tactics

Closed 231 signatures

What the petition asks

The DCMS report HC1791 revealed shocking findings on disinformation and hacking of UK democracy by "forces intent on causing disruption and confusion". We call for an investigation of disinformation tactics used, and withdrawal of A50 pending findings - Brexit may be a result of such tactics.
