What the papers say - June 10
Three of the Sunday papers lead on "connections" between the Kremlin and Leave.EU backer Arron Banks after it was reported that the millionaire businessman had had three meetings with a Russian ambassador.
The Sunday Times says the claims led to "explosive questions" about Russian attempts to influence the referendum result with the emails showing "repeated contact with officials to discuss business opportunities and issues of mutual interest".
