Gardiner is a twat and very likely to be a fellow traveller, he’s a Corbynista and they have always been keen to apologise for horrible totalitarian regimes. He does, of course, claim that he not only declared the cash but had continually informed the security services about it.
Great timing on this story though.
While we’re on the subject, why didn’t this get any more exposure?

What should we be prepared to give get a 0.12% to 0.22% increase in GDP (by 2035) through a trade deal?
No, it’s not with the US, they have shelved all talks.

Its desperate times from some very desperate people! Just saw nadine dorries interview totally defending her boss. Full credit for loyalty but seriously the woman really doesnt know much about anything.
I am really getting annoyed on this description of an inquiry as being totally independent. Its not at all and thats why Johnson and his crew of thieves are all laughing at us.
You not allowed to discuss this Goldie… only Boris and Tory bashing on here as the locals get upset.

Assume that if a fraud in Russia, constituted a national threat to the UK, Abramovich and many other oligarchs would would have been prosecuted years ago.
Gardner supported China's bid for nuclear projects in the UK. Nothing to do with all the money he received, of course. I trust he'll be explaining exactly where it all went.
No different to all the 'timings' of Boris's shenanigans surely?
Actually, as it was MI5 who released this I'm a little confused.
They wouldn't normally make such an early announcement. I wonder if there are others they're trying to flush out.
Gardiner is an odious twat and should hopefully disappear now. The spy was employed by Gardiner's Son I believe.
Both ridiculously naive at best.
Probably a lot more criminal than naive.
It was the spy's son who worked in Gardiner's office and had his salary paid by his mother...
...which is a lot worse
The only thing about mocking Barry Gardiner is you want to mock him again 30 minutes later.
I’m glad all the MSM are running the story. And so they should… this is National security and he has taken money. I wonder if Captain Wong will use the word ‘integrity ‘ tomorrow or will he be getting COVID again… I mean it is from China!
I seem to remember saying at the time… WTF is he doing in Parliament. Makes sense now.

Gardiner's statement says “The security services have always known, and been made fully aware by me, of her engagement with my office and the donations she made to fund researchers in my office in the past”.
If this isn't true, he should be sacked and fully investigated. If it is true, the Home Secretary has serious questions to answer.
