‘Lord Truscott nominated Vladimir Putin for the Nobel Peace Prize’ and other amazing facts. This is an important story about Russian money & influence flowing freely through parliament thetimes.co.uk/article/tory-p…
What’s interesting - and new - is that it’s a Conservative minister calling this out in his own party. Yet, only yesterday the government refused to respond to calls from parliament’s @commonscms committee to investigate Russian money & influence in referendum.
Lord Barker - at the centre of this story - has had an astonishing career. Worked for Berezovsky & Abramovich's oil company. Entered parliament, became minister in charge of climate change. Elevate to Lords, took over chairmanship of Deripaska's EN+ company.
Question. What is this "Russian Gold Fund", a "private equity investment fund" that Truscott works for?? That he says has no Russian money in it?? The only refs I can see to it are from Hansard...
Only online references to it seem to be from Hansard. Like this great and completely unsponsored contribution to a Lords debate. Anyone?
