“allegations that the security services ignored evidence from a Conservative whistleblower exposing Russian infiltration at the highest levels of the party are truly shocking”
Allegations centre around Conservative Friends of Russia in 2012

Many will have seen the CIVITAS attack on benefits yesterday
Today it is is debunked by the SPECTATOR - things have really got that bed
Long thread to beat paywall #ToriesOut201#SunakOut92#GeneralElectionNow
A report claiming a majority of us receive more in benefits than we stump up in tax made headlines yesterday. The analysis produced by the think tank Civitas contends that 36 million Britons, or 54 per cent, live in households that get more out than they put in.
This finding may well appeal to those who reckon the country consists of lazy, feckless scroungers on the take from hard-working people like them.
At risk of spoiling the fun, the truth is a little more prosaic.
A mother-of-three who has lived in the UK for 13 years has been left without physical proof of her right to work in the UK for more than six months,
Maria Kouyate, who is originally from the Ivory Coast but has lived in France and then the UK since she was seven,
Ms Kouyate originally moved to the UK 13 years ago after getting a job in London, and has the right to remain in the UK as her children are British citizens.
She currently has temporary leave to remain and is on a 10-year route towards being granted indefinite leave to remain.
- 6 months ago supply and demand would have stabilised
- then Putin started the war
- no reference to inflationary pressures which were happening before the war
- the speech references Ukraine, Putin, the Queen frequently to confuse search engines later
- over time economic pressure of Ukraine will lessen
- not using uncontrolled immigration to sort workforce
- getting people off benefit in to work
- repeated all measures so far (£37billion)
- back Britain (search engine red herring)
- mentions fiscal responsibility (austerity coming)
- last year largest growing economy in G7 (because we dropped furthest)
- no Government can protect everyone from all pressures (?nothing more coming)
- you can't spend your way out of it (more austerity)
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is “tempting evil” with his statements about the training of Ukrainian troops abroad amid the conflict with Russia, Polish General Waldemar Skrzypczak, who advises the defense minister, said on Friday.
During a visit to India earlier this week, Johnson told journalists that “we are currently training Ukrainians in Poland in the use of anti-aircraft defense, and actually in the UK in the use of armored vehicles.”
Skrzypczak, who headed one of the multinational divisions in Iraq in the mid-2000s, told Polish newspaper Fakt that “when we were on missions abroad it was hard to imagine that one of the politicians would talk about our plans or training on television.”
