Watch: Russian money has 'eaten quite deeply' into British elite

A documentary has investigated Russian money and links to the British elite.

Strippers, Spies And Russian Money: Dispatches investigates how Russia sought to influence British politics in the years before the invasion of Ukraine.

Channel 4 has said the Russian Embassy declined to comment on the allegations made in their film.

The new Conservative Party chairman, Greg Hands, has said he believes a Russian spy tried to recruit him over a pint of beer in a London pub.

Hands now has other stuff to worry about a firm won £25.8m PPE contract after Greg Hands approached by a Tory activist.

Seems Greg gets this a lot…

Russian money

Anyway, the documentary also claims that Conservative Party activists visited a strip club in Moscow in a suspected Russian intelligence operation aiming to collect compromising material on future political leaders.

Reactions

The @Conservatives sold out the UK and sold Ukraine down the river.

It really is that simple.

They must never be allowed back into power again. Ever. https://t.co/tH1Je8ERW0

Thanks @Channel4News @C4Dispatches – excellent exposé #Londongrad

Our policies would start the fight back to clean up of our institutions. Eg through heightened transparency, anti-corruption legislation, robust reforms to our constitutional, electoral laws, and tax loopholes https://t.co/Od5MqeVvbv

Are rubber boats a distraction from the real enemy? Even with sanctions, there is plenty of properties in London and money held in offshore account believed to be owned by Russians. We even have an oligarch sitting in the House of Lords. https://t.co/wVXpfAXBPn

Not only did this embolden Putin, it was part of the #Brexit master plan. Weaken the EU & fracture the U.K. Well they got the latter, not the former. #BrexitBrokeBritain https://t.co/hXEqkl6cQm

The Russia Report may have ‘disappeared’, but Channel 4 has done some of the work instead. https://t.co/ycCnZfLKys

All members of the British Establishment involved in this issue should be brought in front of a judge to face charges of treason. There can be no excuse for their behaviour whatsoever if found guilty https://t.co/vy1VuFrMlp
