There was a small piece in The Guardian newsfeed about Sheleg pointing to Jane Bradley's work. All I know is that Johnson has brushed this off (well he would, wouldn't he?) and the Electoral Commission says it is looking into it.
I feel like we are in a state of limbo waiting for the police to conclude their investigations and for the Sue Gray report. Minister after minister making crass public statements about the costs of living crisis. We shall see what is said today about a windfall tax on oil profits. Johnson’s Hard Brexit pushed to help him win the leadership contest is proving to be a very dangerous mistake.
The *Tory MP who has consistently spoken out about Russian money is Tom Tugendhat who chaired the "Moscow Gold" committee and pressed for the Russia report to be publicised before the 2019 election while Johnson sat on it as he knew it would be damning.
*Chris Bryant for the opposition, of course.

The UK government has been complicit in all of this; why I find Johnson's posturing over Ukraine so sickening and his party using the Ukrainian people as a human shield to protect his position even more sickening.
Do I see Tugendhat as PM until we can rid ourselves of a Tory government altogether? Possibly not. He is more interested in foreign policy than domestic matters and is pro-nuclear energy. He should be in the cabinet as Foreign or Defence Secretary at the very least but as he is a fierce opponent of Johnson, it isn't going to happen under he is ousted.
Rousseau was right when he said:
The English people believes itself to be free; it is gravely mistaken; it is free only during the election of Members of Parliament; as soon as the Members are elected, the people is enslaved; it is nothing.
