Yesterday we detailed our investigations into #TheSalisburyPoisonings which led to the true identities of the assassins being revealed, but how did Russia react to our findings? Here, Russia's ambassador to the UK explains how we're part of the "British Deep Establishment".
Following his accusations, the ambassador was asked for the evidence to back up his accusations, and, reader, he didn't do a very good job. #TheSalisburyPoisonings
Afterwards, @AliBunkallSKY checked to make sure he really didn't have that evidence, but the ambassador had gone all shy. At least he said he was sorry. #TheSalisburyPoisonings
