Too bad they’re doing this entirely in bad faith because they know they’re going lose to the neo nation front. We absolutely need this investigated, I just wish it wasn’t run by some neoliberal fishfinger who believes in nothing.

I wonder how long it’ll take before we start getting flooded by talking points portraying this as a bad thing.

Very much needed and Conservatives no longer in power to block it.

About a decade late but better than never I suppose

“The conduct around the Brexit referendum has been specifically excluded in the terms of reference, and Mr Rycroft will be instructed to focus on more “recent” cases”
So they’re not really serious about this then? Until we start being honest with ourselves, I fear we’re never going to really get to the bottom of the problems with politics and the state of the country.

“After review we have found there is no material interference. C’est la vie.”
I don’t know how to write cyrillic so had to go with France.

I think Labour have no idea how popular cracking down on foreign influence on politics would be. I don’t know anyone who isn’t in favour of it.

The most obvious event in British politics that Russia would want to influence to get the outcome that happened is *excluded?*
I get that now is a far higher priority but to exclude it completely is madness to me.

Finally. Hopefully they ban / fine into disappearance:
Twitter
Facebook
Corrupt media
Tik Tok
Plus any other outlet responsible for propaganda and disinformation.
Uncontrolled social media and media is our greatest threat to democracy imo.

Maybe look into Ex PM Johnson giving a peerage to a Russian businessman and also his unrecorded meeting with said family.
Also Reforms promoting Russian interests – promoting non doms.

About a decade too late, but at least someone has finally understood something should be done.
Next do a full national enquiry into the Brexit, there’s an awful lot of politicians who really, really do not want a torch shone on that.

Good! This is long overdue. And must include, without any equivocation, the USA under Trump’s MAGAt administration too’!

They can start with Johnson and his KGB Lords Crony and go from there.

They can’t even pay the right stamp duty. How are they going to investigate.

Quick off the mark, this lot!
In about 5 years they will launch an Urgent review into the slightly suspicious number of Turkish barbers.

Transparent attempt to go after Reform for the liberals wet-dream, Russia. Plays to the gallery whilst probably inadvertently exposing the fact theres literal Chinese spies working as Labour MPs.
This will win over approximately zero people who need ‘winning over’.

Good, look into both Russia, China and US influence.
Good. It’s long past due.
Every stone needs to be looked under and absolutely no one and no party should be off limits.
Good. I hope no stone is left unturned (unlikely). It might hurt them all but if we want to move forwards we need to clean up.
I hope all parties learn and be better. Even Reform if they actually do care about the people of this nation and genuinely want to make a difference.
I am trying to give them the benefit of doubt there.
I wonder how long until this is also swept under the rug
This seems like a good reason to seize Trumps assets in the UK
We’ve got a bunch of individuals, that weren’t born in our country, in our highest levels of government.
Will that be addressed, or are we just on about the regular boogiemen?
Good news. Investigative journalist, Peter Geoghegan has done some fantastic work on this and addressed Parliament.
His Substack is free to follow
