WTF is going on in this country.
It’s hard to be shocked anymore
That can’t be true can it? Outrageous if it is - it’s true though, it’s got to the stage where people just shrug their shoulders.
Just the next in a long line
this seems bad.
whatabout the time when Tony Blair was photographed actually IN Russia.
I know this looks bad but we have to look at everything equally
No you just have to be motivated by what is right and wrong. Not condemn or ignore based on party politics.👍

Well I tried
I decided to check the reliability of Open Democracy, the site behind this story
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/opendemocracy/
Not a complete endorsement, but pretty close to one.
It was originally a Bellingcat investigation - https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-a...cture-exposed/
They sometimes share quite a ot of detail as to how they conduct their investigations, it's very interesting
Labour MP asks about this in PMQs.
Just watched it. Often more smoke than fire with complex investigations like this when they are raised in PMQs
There was a feature on this story on Newsnight last night. The Government are taking straps to outlaw so called SNAPSS lawsuits whereby the rich and powerful can hit individual investigators with expensive and time consuming litigation which protects them from further investigation. It seems to me that this is an admission that the story in Open Democracy is true, but the line appears to me that this is procedural and the mistake was down to civil servants - interestingly, the Tory head of the Foreign Affairs Committee I think it was, said in an interview that the Government proposals did not go far enough.
