Boris Johnson and Evgeny Lebedev: 10 days after saying he saw no evidence that Russians were influencing UK politics, Johnson elevated a Russian to the House of Lords. He says there’s no evidence for an investigation into Russian influence in UK politics, despite a Parliamentary committee producing a lengthy report containing a large amount of it.
A group of MPs has threatened court action to compel the Johnson government to investigate allegations in a report on Russian intervention in UK politics.
Well, let’s hope they follow it through soon because Johnson is acting to stop the courts from having any power over his government.
Yes, that is dictatorship. You voted for it, folks! (Or if you don’t, being good, decent Vox Political readers, your neighbours did.)
It was in the Tory manifesto for the December 2019 election, for everybody to see, on page 48: a plan to forbid the courts from making orders that restrict the government from acting in any way it pleases.
I’m sure Hitler did something similar in Germany during the 1930s.
A group of politicians are threatening legal action unless Boris Johnson orders an independent investigation into Russian interference in elections.
The letter signed by Green MP Caroline Lucas and Labour’s Chris Bryant follows a report which said the UK “badly underestimated” the Russian threat.
The parliamentarians argue the prime minister’s “lack of action” breaches the right to free elections.
The government said the UK had “robust systems” to protect elections.
Johnson has very close personal relationship with very notable Russians based in the UK. But we’re sure that has nothing to do with his reluctance on this matter… aren’t we?
