"Ukraine targeted Alexander Lebedev as part of a wave of sanctions against individuals supportive of Russiaā€™s war, placing greater scrutiny on the oligarchā€™s links to the UK government". @pcaruanagalizia @tortoise #RussiaReport

Boris Johnson gave Lebedevā€™s son Evgeny, a close friend, a life peerage despite security warnings from MI5. "The Cabinet Office has told parliament that ā€œLord Lebedev is a man of good standing.ā€ Lord Lebedev has said that he has ā€œno links to the Kremlin". Image

We have the whole story. Help us tell it & contribute to our new investigative podcast here: donorbox.org/the-real-russiā€¦
@Channel4News As @C4Dispatches makes clear, the Kremlin managed to infiltrate the Tory Party at its highest levels via the creation of the Conservative Friends of Russia, a lobbying group engineered to act against the Uk national interests. No one stopped them. Why?
In 2018, Russian officers attacked former double agent Colonel Skripal and his daughter, on British territory, using a nerve agent manufactured in Russia.

They knew they could count on a weak reaction from a Tory gov compromised by its Russian links.

2 yrs ago, #RussiaReport found that Russian interference in our elections was real. How did the Kremlin become so entwined in British politics? Why did the govt turn a blind eye?

@carolecadwalla @allthecitizens are on a mission to find out. Help us.

@carolecadwalla Weā€™ve been on this beat for a while, here is a quick recap of what weā€™ve done šŸ–‡ļø

2+ years ago:

The govt failed to publish the #RussiaReport, so we convened experts to ask the questions they would not.

The #RussiaReport called for a full investigation into Kremlin interference in British politics. The govt refused. Why?

With the help of a whistleblower from the Conservative Party & expert witnesses we intend to expose the truth, but we need your help

This is the story of a cover-up. One that goes to the highest level of the British state.

With @carolecadwalla we will tell the full story of how the Kremlin captured the British establishment and how the authorities turned a blind eye

A Conservative party activist went to MI5 with evidence that senior politicians had been targeted by an alleged Russian spy. But nothing happened.

@carolecadwalla has the full story in the Observer

The #LebedevScandal ā€œis beginning to seem as if it could ā€“ & should ā€“ become the defining legacy of @BorisJohnsonā€™s premiershipā€ @carolecadwalla

NEW: It is absolutely NUTS given whatā€™s happening but Johnson is STILL refusing to investigate Russian interference. We at @allthecitizens + 5 MPs/peers believe this is a fundamental breach of our human rights. So itā€™s going Strasbourg.šŸ‘ŠšŸ‘ŠšŸ‘Š

Kudos to @BenPBradshaw @CarolineLucas @LordStras @AlynSmith & @PJWheatcroft. A cross party group fighting this for 2 years already. See this new film for a full explainer. The #RussiaReport found a gaping hole at heart of our national security. And European court only option left
Thank you to Tessa Gregory, @notnottom & team at @LeighDay_Law. This will be a slow, laborious process but as @JamieGrierson explains here, they believe govt isnā€™t just denying the obvious, itā€™s also in breach of European convention of human rights. Image

šŸšØ NEW šŸšØ 2 years ago the #RussiaReport found 'credible evidence' of šŸ‡·šŸ‡ŗ interference in šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§ elections & the UK govt...did nothing

@allthecitizens + a group of MPs & peers took them to court. Permission for a judicial review was denied

Now the case is going to Strasbourg šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡
We believe šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§ failure to act on šŸ‡·šŸ‡ŗ interference is in breach of European Convention of Human Rights which requires free & fair elections

3. "we need to strengthen global structures & programmes which promote our values. With #Russia & #China on the Security Council, this is not going to be easy, but we should at the very least do what we can within our own powers & resources to begin to address this..."

#Russia has invaded Sovereign #Ukraine.
Russia along with the big 5 gave Ukraine, #Belarus and #Kazakhstan explicit guarantee to respect their Sovereignty and territories as part of #Budapest memorandum in return for giving up their #nukes.
#Putin claimed that "promises" were made and broken regarding #NATO expansion?
Yet #Gorbachev has said many times that no such promise was given
Who should we believe?
The Ethno-nationalist?
Or the Nobel prize winner?
Russia breached this accord with its original 2014 invasion.
The actions of Russia in its pursuit of Crimea and making #Azov a russian lake have led to creating and supporting continued insurgency in eastern Ukraine.
The claim of Putin to be entering Ukraine as a #peacekeeper?
As a guardian of Russian speakers?

I've been screaming about this since 2018. Canada šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦developed the ā€œLearn to Discernā€ program which taught 15,000 Ukrainians šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦ how to detect and decode misinformation and propaganda.

If the Ukrainians did not have this training, they might be begging Putin to annex them.
Finland šŸ‡«šŸ‡®, the Netherlands šŸ‡³šŸ‡±, Poland šŸ‡µšŸ‡± & other European countries are also took measures to educate the public on Russian propaganda and cyber attacks. We continue to do nothing. #RussiaReport
ā‰ļø Why in God's name haven't we done this in the U.S. the #propaganda and #disinformation is OUT OF CONTROL here! It is the biggest problem globally, without question.

Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, etc...all need to be regulated somehow.

100,000 Russian troops have amassed at Ukraineā€™s border, as NATO allies discuss responding with troop deployments.

Russia issued demands for NATO not to expand the alliance, and to deny Ukraine NATO membership. This was rejected by both NATO and the US.
RU State TV claims NATO / Ukraine as the aggressors, aligning with Kremlin rhetoric.

Dennis Volkov, of Moscow-based pollster Levda, said of the situation ā€œitā€™s important (for the Kremlin) that it continues to look like the West is inflaming the situationā€
reuters.com/world/europe/wā€¦ Image
While, as of yet, no further decision in response has been issued by Putin, State TV is downplaying Russian involvement at the border. Information warfare is how autocrats like Putin influence and undermine democracies.

And it works!

Tough year.
Covid has exacerbated the cracks in the system.
The Uk gov has increasingly shown its authoritarian tendencies while trying to avoid scrutiny
So, šŸ™ for being there: with your growing support, we have kept holding power to account.

We discovered Cronysm at the highest level and how the Covid pandemic has been a bonanza for some, while the country was on its knees.

2. FEBRUARY
We found a new government Covid19 contract linked to a friend of #MattHancock, whose husband donated Ā£5,000 to the Health Secretary.

The first of a long series of investigations exposing a Covid Vip lane of lucrative contracts to Tory donors.

Ex-MI6 officer Christopher Steele tells @haynesdeborah about Russian interference in #Brexit

Palantir who rptdly taught #CambridgeAnalytica how to scrape data run the NHS #COVID19 data store with Cummings-linked Vote Leave firm, #FacultyAI
šŸ‘‰#PalantirPlan
Christopher Steele also compiled a dossier alleging collusion btw Russia & the 2016 Trump election campaign

Were Brexit & Trump part of an intelligence-backed, right-wing plan for power through genomic data?

The #PalantirThree & #RussiaReport offer clues
Earlier this week, #ChristopherSteele told @GStephanopoulos that heā€™s speaking out now because ā€œthe problems we identified back in 2016 havenā€™t gone away, & arguably have actually got worse."

1/. Starting today, the most important courtroom drama the UK has ever seen

The PM challenged on grounds of national security following the findings of the #RussiaReport by
@BenPBradshaw @RhonddaBryant @CarolineLucas @LordStras @AlynSmith & @PJWheatcroft
2/. Last July - after much delay - the #RussiaReport was finally published

Itā€™s findings were truly terrifying

It revealed the govt & intelligence agencies had actively avoided looking for evidence that Russia interfered in the Brexit vote

Self-sabotage
3/. The implications of the #RussiaReport fed into my ongoing investigation into what appears to be a global #DataGrab for population-wide genomic data

Iā€™d already traced the plan back to 2015

Russian interference in the 2016 #Trump election & #Brexit vote made perfect sense!

Amazing that Dominic Raab has discovered ā€˜a network of trollsā€™ only 6 years since the Internet Research Agency was first extensively covered by mainstream press. While this same govt REFUSES point blank Intel Committeeā€™s demand for a proper investigation & inquiry
Itā€™s why 4 cross-party MPs & 2 Lords are seeking a judicial review. The first time sitting MPs have challenged govt over failing to protect Britainā€™s national security
