Well, with all the doom and gloom over the last few years, I thought this was some good news.

I thought the Russians were supposed to fund Labour, not the Tories.

"The inquiry by the Commons Intelligence and Security Committee is believed to have looked at claims of Moscow’s attempts to influence the Brexit campaign and Russian money going into UK institutions including sizeable donations made to the Conservative Party. "

 

No wonder Johnson doesn't want the report published until after the election.

That was the Soviet Union.

The current Russian state is very nationalist, right wing and fearful of the EU, hence its support for Brexit and anyone who supports Brexit (Boris Johnson and his Tories)

They are not stupid, they fund anyone willing to do their bidding on both right and left. All helps with their policies to sow chaos amongst their enemies.

Yes - just making the point if it had been Labour then the Tory press would have been all over the story like a rash.

 

And - not surprisingly the Tories are using social media to spread misleading information - editing an interview on TV by  Keir Starmer to make it look like he couldn't answer a question when he gave a lengthy response.

Ther Tories are going to use more untruths in this election than in all the rest put together (referendum included).

Let's just get the election out of the way then get Brexit done. It's what most people want.

Definitely not.

 

Will all Remainers be voting for their Leader, Jo Swinson?
