"…is the new normal” – Did you know the Russia Report had actually been published?" Asks David Allen Green.

I didn't.
And if you cannot read its fifty-five pages, you can read the four page summary here.

And, if those four pages are too many, just read the bullet-points – especially the first:

“Russian influence in the UK is the new normal.

“Successive Governments have welcomed the oligarchs and their money with open arms, providing them with a means of recycling illicit finance through the London ‘laundromat’, and connections at the highest levels with access to UK companies and political figures.”
Anyone read it?

I read the short summary and was beyond angry.

As Dean Morrison (Deano, here) said in reply,

"What's the difference between an immigrant and a first generation immigrant"?

The stuff about Johnson and Lebedev is appalling, but not shocking.
