While it is already publicly documented that Temerko has financed Conservative party to the tune of millions over the past decade - what is less known is the input he’s had within Johnson’s close circle & the “additional financing” he’s arranged to support Johnson.

I’ve now seen documents that some of the reasoning behind the UK intelligence agencies decision to not share information with Johnson while he was Foreign Minister are due not just to Johnson’s “chaotic private life” but also to his links to Temerko & associates.

One of the ways this financing of Boris Johnson has been hidden is by hiding the money through support for Johnson associates such as former MP James Wharton through Temerko companies.
Wharton you may recall put forward the first bill calling for an EU referendum.

What greatly concerned security services is Temerko didn’t only finance the party & Johnson but used his private resources/accom as part of Johnson plot to oust May.
Implications that an oligarch with Russian military ties was as part of a plot to oust an elected British PM.

UK intel also concerned that Temerko has publicly (in UK) prior to his gaining British citizenship presented himself as being a Putin neutral/opponent - in fact Temerko now revealed to have much closer ties to Kremlin & Russian military than previously suggested.

But here’s where it gets even more worrying:
Theresa May in 2017 became increasingly worried about Russian interference in UK politics/elections & condemn outright Russia from November 2017 onwards - in public.
Why is the date important?

In the very same month that May, informed by UK intelligence of increased Russian interference, announced a new harder line against Russia the Foreign Secretary - one Boris Johnson - came out with a 100% contradiction of May/UK security services.
It is at this point...

At this point 3 things happened:
1. May further curtailed Johnson’s access to classified information
2. Temerko steppes up involvement in plan with Johnson to oust May
3. RT started favourably reporting Johnson’s comment (incl the now famous “not a sausage” comments)

This date also important as it marks the start of Johnson’s growing relationship with Bannon. Up until 2017 Johnson has atleast played at “one nation” but with Brexit - from 2017 this was ditched & he started to essentially to follow Trumpist playbook.

Problem with this thread is Ive enough for 200 tweets. But I’ll leave with this.
90% of above is publicly verifiable. Now while Boris was smoking cigars at Alex’s place plotting to oust a UK PM on way to yet another young lady..
...what do you think the Kremlin were doing?
