🔴 Yesterday's @Channel4News Dispatches shows how MI5 refused to investigate Russian donations even when Sergei Cristo asked them to…
We have the whole story. Help us tell it & contribute to our new investigative podcast here: donorbox.org/the-real-russi…
@Channel4News As @C4Dispatches makes clear, the Kremlin managed to infiltrate the Tory Party at its highest levels via the creation of the Conservative Friends of Russia, a lobbying group engineered to act against the Uk national interests. No one stopped them. Why?
In 2018, Russian officers attacked former double agent Colonel Skripal and his daughter, on British territory, using a nerve agent manufactured in Russia.
They knew they could count on a weak reaction from a Tory gov compromised by its Russian links.
@C4Dispatches Even in 2014, when Russia illegally annexed Crimea, preparing the ground for the ongoing war against Ukraine, the Uk gov response was 'inadequate'.
Why?
We have the whole story, but we need your help to expose it.
'The [Russia] report says in terms that Russia was trying to influence British politics and that the Government had been laggardly in reacting to that possibility."
Why was the report delayed? Why its findings not taken seriously?
Thank you Stephen, Sarah, Phyllis, and all the fabulous 1000 who have donated to our new podcast investigative series exposing the Russia Report cover-up 🙏🙏🙏
🚨 Help us expose the truth behind the #RussiaReport cover-up! We plan to tell the story of how the Kremlin captured the British establishment in a new podcast series. But we need your help…
2 yrs ago, #RussiaReport found that Russian interference in our elections was real. How did the Kremlin become so entwined in British politics? Why did the govt turn a blind eye?
‘The only investigation that’s been done… has been by a handful of investigative journalists’
@carolecadwalla on how the security apparatus and intelligence services failed to investigate Kremlin interference in our democracy.
@carolecadwalla We plan to tell this story as an investigative podcast over six episodes. We have new evidence, we have new witnesses, we have amazing experts.
The #RussiaReport called for a full investigation into Kremlin interference in British politics. The govt refused. Why?
With the help of a whistleblower from the Conservative Party & expert witnesses we intend to expose the truth, but we need your help the-citizens.com/2023/01/new-ci…
This is the story of a cover-up. One that goes to the highest level of the British state.
With @carolecadwalla we will tell the full story of how the Kremlin captured the British establishment and how the authorities turned a blind eye
A Conservative party activist went to MI5 with evidence that senior politicians had been targeted by an alleged Russian spy. But nothing happened.
The importance of investigating Russian interference can’t be understated. This week the European Court of Human Rights said our Russia legal case can proceed to next stage
The landmark legal challenge launched by a group of MPs with @allthecitizens against the Uk gov over its failure to investigate Russian interference in Uk elections proceeds to the next stage in European Court of Human Rights
It is the first time sitting MPs have taken the gov to @ECHR_CEDH on the ground of national security.
For @CarolineLucas, @BenPBradshaw and @AlynSmith the UK gov refusal to hold an independent inquiry into the findings of Russia Report ‘breaches right to free and fair elections’
This is also the first time @ECHR_CEDH has considered how foreign interference in democratic processes impacts on the right to free and fair elections, with potentially huge implications for Eu governments' duty to protect against foreign threats of manipulation and disinfo.
🔴 The #StrikesBill is about to go through second reading in the House of Commons
Along with latest amendment to the #PublicOrderBill that Sunak is pushing, which will give powers to police to stop protests even before there's disruption, UK is seeing inc anti-strike legislation
