  1. GBP to the rubble conversion, can they not just buy Russia with how utterly screwed there economy is?…

    /S in case it wasn’t obvious.

  3. We should go after the large American corporations and make them fund it. See how long it take for Trump to cave in and offer a backstop.

  4. Great news. Should have happened a long time ago though.

  5. Is this thread brigaded? so many pro-Kremlin comments, glad they’re downvoted though

  6. This is brilliant news.

    The UK government needs to seize all Russian owned property and other assets in the UK and make it very clear that we will no longer act as a slush fund to launder the oligarchs ill gotten gains.

    Putin needs to feel even more isolated as his own oligarchs turn on him and blame him for their loss of wealth and status in the UK.

  7. Liquidate ALL Russian-owned property (unless the owner has denounced Putin in public, not been found to be lying, and renounced Russian citizenship).

  8. Seize all and sell all Russian owned property and assets in the U.K, private or otherwise. Make the oligarchs put pressure on Putin and send the funds to Ukraine.

  9. All of them.please!!! And keep the sanctions as tough as possible.

  10. Wtf, 3 years later. Should have done this a forever ago.

  11. Super send 200 billion and some troops and send the orcs back home

  12. Send the embassy staff home too as they are snooping and recruiting in the UK

  13. There it is. An absolutely *massive* fuck you to Putin. It’s now crystal clear whose side the UK is on. Not that there was any doubt, but compared to the US…

  15. Excellent news. Can we seize all Russian properties and convert the residential ones into social and affordable housing, selling whatever else is left?

  17. Just a little post to say I’m one of those who are downvoting all the bots.

    Fantastic news.

  18. Really happy with the Labour government the last few days. One of the times I feel proud to be British.

  19. Can someone pop Farage in the freezer before Reeves is done with this please?

  20. I have to say not before time. This should have been done ages ago. However, since they have Trump in their pocket they deserve to have their assets removed

  21. No offence but every penny taken from Russian should have been given to Ukraine straight away

  22. We absolutely should take the lead on this. Pressure other countries to follow suit.

  23. Trump is having a laugh if he thinks Zelensky is going to be intimidated by him. Putin, terrorist that he is, is a serious person. I would not fuck with him…but Zelensky isn’t intimidated by him. So why the fuck would a sack of 3 year old sunburnt custard intimidate him?!?

    I really hope this is where the penny drops for the GOP. The world saw that, and we’re not laughing anymore. This isn’t cute. This is disgraceful, disgusting and dangerous.

  25. I wish we used the Russian assets to find a massive investment in the UK defense industry. And then we could actually produce more munitions for Ukraine long term

  26. well fucking done! first good thing you have done! now send some more billions from russian assets to our pensioners and farmers! fuck putin from a scotsman

  27. Good, fuck Russia and fuck Putin. Hope that money goes to blowing him and his oligarchy off the map.

  28. Proud of the UK for standing on the right side of history again pure evil.

  29. Increase apple Facebook, Tesla, twitter, google, Starbucks taxes whilst your at it…

  30. Now start taxing the assets of the rest of the 0.1% and stop them eating us all
