Remember when all the RWNJs on here were lambasting Jeremy Corbyn for being a likely traitor - in collusion with the Russians? Well today news has come out about how MI5 repeatedly refused to investigate evidence that an alleged Russian spy was attempting to cultivate influence with senior Tory politicians and channel illegal Russian funds into the Conservative Party.
This is in today's Guardian:
"Sergei Cristo, a Conservative party activist and a former journalist with the BBC World Service, has lodged a complaint with the investigatory powers tribunal, filing the case after corresponding with the chair of parliament’s intelligence and security committee, Conservative MP Julian Lewis, who recommended he take the information to the authorities.
"The committee’s Russia report claimed in 2020 that the security services had turned a blind eye to “credible evidence” of Russian interference and Cristo’s allegations offer potentially explosive new evidence that confirms its findings. Labour MP Ben Bradshaw said “allegations that the security services ignored evidence from a Conservative whistleblower exposing Russian infiltration at the highest levels of the party are truly shocking” and claimed the “Conservative party’s Russia problem” was an ongoing threat to Britain’s national security."
Of course, The Russia Report has never been released to the public. I wonder why?
