Canada have placed Lebedev under sanctions because he has “directly enabled” Russia in the Ukraine war.

We have him in the House of Lords

Diabolical.

I am absolutely stunned at the behaviour and choices that this regime has made and still they have support in the country. I just do not get it and would love someone to tell me why this is still the case because I think even if there is a leadership vote, I imagine he will win it. What an almighty mess.

Following UK Ministers’ repeated refusal to follow Canada’s lead in sanctioning Alexander Lebedev, it now appears this former KGB agent and longstanding acquaintance of Boris Johnson is being allowed to move his cash with impunity before Ministers of the Crown take any action.
