What rule is he bending? There’s no rules for who to sanction, it’s just choice at the moment. Just because one country sanctions someone that doesn’t then become a rule that every other country must follow.

Remember when the Russia report said basically that yes there’s probably interference but we aren’t going to look for it. This is why.
Someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift on my daughter’s wedding day.
And still refusing to release the security report from MI5. Something that was ordered by Parliament.
Well done comrade Johnson.
Lebedev and his son’s assets should be frozen and they should both be subject to the Russian war sanctions.
They guy had most of his Russian actives expropriated by Putin in 2008 and sold the last of what he had left in Russia in 2012. Ten years ago. In what way he enabled the war in Ukraine?
His son has been living in the UK since 8 years old.
Bojo isn’t “bending rules”, he just doesn’t participate in a witch hunt.
Some days I wonder how we ended up like this… such a corrupt and morally bankrupt Government. Absolute shambles
All those mi5 reports a few years back saying Russia had more spies in the uk than at Cold War levels.
Yes and most are all colluding with the conservatives taking their money.
Not just bending fucking rules, but they sold him 2 newspapers for just £1 each… just think about that for a moment, the staff, the printing presses, the stock of paper and the building either owned or leased all for a fucking single pound to get access to the UK’s media. Let’s see any normal person offer a bid of £1 and not get laughed out the building, but a Russian billionaire “ex”-KGB agent and good mate of Russian involved Boris, “not a problem me old chum”
> The 62-year-old Russian bought the Independent for £1 in 2010, having previously taken control of London’s Evening Standard for the same sum the previous year.
