From Russia With Love

The most damning line from this mornings Intelligence and Security Committee's release of the Russia Report into inerference in the 2016 EU Referendum came from the head of the Committee who, when asked if the Government had lied to the country, replied 'I can't say the Government lied, but they didn't tell the truth'.
Another line was around the Government line that: 'they were correct in saying that they did not see any Russian Interference but they didn't see anything because they didn't look, actively avoiding investigating it'.
The Russia Report calls out David Cameron, Theresa May & Boris Johnson for turning a blind eye to Russian interference from 2014 onwards, a total failure of leadership from three successive Tory Prime Ministers but the unvarnished truth is that they dared not look to see because the results went their way and if they found something dodgy going on, it would mean cancelling Brexit and a rerun of the election so obviously the Conservatives have no interest in finding out if a foreign government influenced our democratic process.
Russia gives millions to Tory party , Tory government doesn’t investigate Russian interference and possibly outcome of Brexit..nothing to see here, move on.

Meanwhile Mike Pompeo is in UK for trade meetings and MPs have voted against New Clause 17, with 340 votes to 251, The New Clause intended to protect the NHS and publicly funded health and care services in the UK from any form of control from outside the UK.
Those MP's must really enjoy their chlorinated chicken, hormone injected beef and bankruptcy bringing US style healthcare.
