Was that the same security services you dumped to visit ‘ex’ KGB colonel Alexander Lebedev and party in Umbria just after the Novichok Salisbury attack? Or the same security services whose advice you defied to put his son Evgeny in the House of Lords? Those security services?

I so hope @zackpolanski.bsky.social is elected tomorrow. Another green on the opposition benches will help pull Labour in the right direction. If @andyburnham.bsky.social faces a sea of shades of blue he’ll bend like Starmer bowed. Zack will give Andy courage.
