The government being schooled by Frans Timmermans today. The EU Commision Vice President urges the UK government to " Follow our lead and go faster " in sanctioning Oligarchs. ...sure Johnson said we were " Leading " the other day ? More hot air and bluster it seems.

They're being asked to cull their golden goose, a real dilema for them.....

Seriously, anyone that wants to boycott Russian oligarch-owned organisations…

Maybe start with the Tory party at the upcoming local elections

This one might be partly due to the MOD, apparently they have been trialing fake fur for the Bearskins the Guards wear, but it is shit at keeping the wet out, so they want to stick with the real thing, which this bill would have made illegal.

Remember when Johnson was asked by the select committee regarding the role of Russia money in UK politics

Must be difficult if you are head of M16 right now, can you tell Johnson everything?

So Gove is now trying to claim that Theresa May was a Labour Home Secretary. Whatever happened to the rules about lying in the house ?

Just been revealed to the Foreign Affairs select Committee of MP's that Johnson did pull strings to prioritise flying an animal charities staff and animals out of Afghanistan after all... despite denying it at the time of course !

" After a Foreign Office insider came forward in December to reveal the chaos and confusion at the heart of the crisis response, Stewart, who worked on the evacuation, corroborated the claims by revealing further “systemic failures”.

She told the committee the decision to approve Nowzad’s staff for evacuation “was not in line with policy, as there was no reason to believe these people should be prioritised under the agreed criteria”.

“It was widespread ‘knowledge’ in the FCDO crisis centre that the decision on Nowzad’s Afghan staff came from the prime minister,” Stewart said in newly released testimony to the foreign affairs committee.

“I saw messages to this effect on Microsoft Teams, I heard it discussed in the crisis centre including by senior civil servants, and I was copied on numerous emails which clearly suggested this and which no one, including Nigel Casey [the government’s special representative on Afghanistan and Pakistan] acting as ‘Crisis Gold’, challenged.”

In the aftermath of the evacuation, the Foreign Office’s permanent secretary, Philip Barton, claimed civil servants had included Nowzad in the “potential cohorts to be considered for evacuation”.

Stewart said: “While factually accurate, from what I heard and saw, Nowzad staff were included as a late addition only in response to this ‘PM decision’. This occurred against the previous judgment of officials.”
