Haven’t you listened to the Carol Cadwalladr podcast ?

baldpaul147.bsky.social•44 days ago

FFS

Not good.

Oh please. They've had the [Tory] Goverment in their pockets for years. The fact that they've had to sneak in, is a step up in terms of security.

Guests of Fartrage?

Well the Westminster Spy Ring is still very much alive and kicking but then that’s no surprise

This is a nothing burger. I didn't invite them. It's nothing to do with me and anyone who tries to suggest otherwise can expect to hear from my solicitors.

When I have to go there to work every year I have to fill in an exhaustive security questionnaire, several pages, parents history, “are you a terrorist” etc etc. My answers haven’t changed in years. But Russian diplomats can walk straight in. Ffs.

This podcast might have some relevance to this article…

Came here to do just that. Great podcast. And really infuriating. Carswell for instance should be behind bars. At one time he’d likely have been hanged.

But they are already sitting on the opposition benches and in the House of Laaaards.

I'd debug the loos for starters. I really don't want to see an MP in a compromising position plastered over Russian Media.

gusbeare.bsky.social•43 days ago

Depends on the MP..

Maybe they were just visiting "Lord" Lebedev of Siberia?

lynnotago.bsky.social•44 days ago

Well we have one in the House of Lords, so …

Who took them in?

Dear God, how was this not news at the time. I dread to think the depth of Russian infiltration in this country. The Tories were addicted to their "donations." What did they give in return? When will we see the less redacted Russia Report? Russians play the long game, so we need to be more savvy.

Now that they've got Elon and a man inside the House of Lords, you'd hardly think this necessary.

I’ve got news for you Pippa, the son of. Russian KGB agent has been roaming freely around parliament for years.

He was given the keys by Boris ‘where’s the party at’ Johnson.

“Diplomats”

localnotail.bsky.social•44 days ago

"The small group of diplomats joined a public tour of the Houses of Parliament and then broke off to enter a part of the House of Lords that was out of bounds, before they were found by security and thrown out."

Visiting The Lord Lebedev?
