What more could any government do short of joining in? It's not a Labour specific question.
Or - what is it the Tories aren't doing because of this supposed Russian influence on them?

They can't be difficult questions, surely - you seem so certain, you've evidently thought it all the way through.
Supposed influence? The Conservative government taking over £800k in political donations and that Boris Johsnon gave a peership to the son of an ex KGB officer and one of Putin's closest friends. Johnson has such a close relationship to Lebedev that he's met his father as well on a number of occasions and without aids present.

So what would the Tories be doing that they're not currently doing?
 
FWIW i believe all political donations should be disclosed. If they are to a specific politician then it should be classed as income and also disclosed.

Most countries are the same as far as their elected officials. It always appears that they are simply in it for themselves. How many times in world politics do we see a party lose and the leader resigns? Surely if they were that commited to "helping the people" then they'd fight tooth and nail to get back in.

These drones are relatively cheap, hard to shoot down and seem to carry a biggish bang.
Whereas cruise missiles cost a fortune, easier to shoot down(?) and carry a bigger bang.

When Hitler (like Putin is now) was blitzing/ bombing our cities, we tried bombing raids and saboteurs to prevent manufacture and launching.
Presumably efforts are being made to hack into the drones software?
