    Goddamn it, where is Jeremy Corbyn when the Tory press need to take attention away from how this keeps happening as a result of the Tories accepting all manner of Russian bungs?

    Don't worry, I'm sure he'll be along soon to tell us that we need the Russians to confirm their own guilt.

    Well it's not like the Tories will bother looking for evidence of it

    There's money in their turning many a blind eye

    As the ever-delayed Russia report on Brexit clearly demonstrated.
    They didn't look and they didn't find anything. Mainly because they know what's there.

    No wonder they don't have any inclination to have someone replace Cressida Dick, she's just as keen to look the other way as they are

    Two GOP operatives indicted for allegedly routing money from Russian national to support Trump campaign:
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wp_politics

    "Jesse Benton, 43, who was previously a top aide to former congressman Ron Paul (R-Tex.) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and later ran a pro-Trump super PAC, was charged this month, according to a federal indictment in Washington unsealed Monday. Also charged is Roy Douglas “Doug” Wead, 75, a conservative author and former special assistant to President George H.W. Bush."

    Benton also worked for Mitch McConnell as his campaign manager.
    His previous convictions for conspiracy, causing false records, causing false campaign expenditure reports and making false statements were pardoned by Trump in 2020.

    For a brief moment I misread that and wondered why you were talking about a dinosaur

    No, not the bit about Mitch McConnell...

    I hope nobody was looking forward to the festivities this December:

    It's basically regulatory capture.
    The press are supposed to hold the government to account.
    They now work for the same people, so they've no interest in doing that.
