We've spent a lot of time pointing out the Tory elite's Russian connections. But we should note that Corbyn and Milne as well as Johnson and Bruges Group members Redwood, Bone and Jenkin were recycling Kremlin propaganda blaming Putin's aggression against Ukraine on the West. 
And here is Milne shaking hands with Putin, the de facto leader of European fascism, just months after Putin's invasion of Ukraine. The so-called antiwar Left, in which Corbyn was involved, is almost always very quiet about Putin's wars.
And some of Corbyn's hard-left supporters on Twitter, now supporting NIP, are eager disseminators of pro-Kremlin propaganda. Here's one with 31k followers. The Kremlin has its claws deep in both the Brexit right and left.
Here's another anti-Starmer Corbynist account which has been all too eager to leap to the defence of the Kremlin. Whether these accounts are Russian trolls or simply eager tools and useful idiots, I don't know; but Kremlin-friendly views are widespread on the hard-left.
