  1. Anyone else surprised with how little money it takes to influence British politics? This is nothing for a foreign state to pay for preference.

  2. Why wouldn’t they? They would have known what was to come and were not going to let that money get away from them while it was still technically OK to receive it. Now they will have to accept donations from shell companies if they want Russian money.

  3. What a fucking suprise…..maybe they can use it to begin to pay back the tax payer for Oneweb…

    It’s the Tory’s Group LTD they don’t do refunds.

  4. Oh the left do need to f off quite frankly with this new BS.

    Boris and Tories being toughest on Russia and were first to suggest SWIFT when many EU countries did not want to apply the sanction.

    Disgusting that now Partygate BS has flopped the left want to find a new load of tosh to try and bring this government and PM down.

  5. Oh no! The Tory party openly being corrupt (again), taking money In exchange for favours to some of the worst people on the planet! Whatever will be the consequences???????? Nothing. Literally nothing. They might even gain a few points in the polls because no one cares and the only people they have to answer to is themselves

  6. accepting bribes from hostile foreign powers is an event that happened in the past, so the met cant investigate it.

  7. You mean the Prime Minister who dodged questions on taking money from Russia on Question Time during the 2019 elections, none the media bothered to follow it up yet with less reason to do do, treated Jeremy Corbyn of the opposition as the Russian spy. Hell, the BBC put a Russian hat on him in one show!

    Gee! Colour me surprised. I didnt see this coming.

  8. The Tory Party is utterly without shame which should be a source of deep, abiding, disgust for everyone. It is not. Which is why people will slink into the polling booth and reelect them. Every time. Because nobody is disgusted that they happily allow 100,000 people to die from preventable disease. Nobody is disgusted by them selling themselves for a pittance to Far Right Oligarchs in Russia. Nobody is digusted at all – they all just fall for the Boris the Clown act. Instead of being disgusted, people will blame anyone: Boomers, Immigrants, Lefties, Women – anyone except the real cause of the problems. Tory Gangster Kleptocrats.

  9. Hmmm reading this article it’s a bit of a tenuous link looking at the dates.

    The headline us basically bollocks given that the money came in in December.

    Anyone who buys into this shit has an IQ South of 100.
