> Kemi Badenoch is under pressure to act on the revelations that her shadow attorney general is representing the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, despite UK sanctions against him.
> David Wolfson, a Tory peer, is part of the legal team representing Abramovich as he attempts to recover billions in frozen assets he owns in the Channel islands.
> Abramovich is caught up in a legal battle with the government of Jersey after it launched an investigation into the source of more than £5.3bn of assets linked to him and held there.
…
> Labour has turned its fire on Wolfson this week, arguing that his work for Abramovich while he is a shadow minister created an unacceptable conflict of interest.
…
> A Conservative party spokesperson said: “Lord Wolfson is instructed in ongoing legal proceedings in Jersey. He is not instructed on the Chelsea FC matter.”
> “The Conservative party led the way on supporting Ukraine and we remain committed to their cause. To suggest anything else is just Labour sinking to new depths.”
Well, the Conservatives were very quick to criticise Lord Hermer for legally representing certain clients against the British state*
I should imagine Wolfson will be sacked by the end of the day, unless the Conservatives are absolutely massive, massive hypocrites.
*to be clear, as was his job as a legal professional working within the rules of the British justice system.
I don’t understand how politicians are so stupid. The Tories have spent ages attacking Labour politicians for representing unsavoury clients in the past. If you’re going to run with that attack I’d have thought the first thing you do is make sure none of your side are currently representing anyone controversial.
Honestly badenoch is the worst and has no shame so i doubt shell care. Her paymaster hester said he wanted to kill all black women and she still does his bidding. Embarrassing.
