jaymailsays There's way more than that going on. Conservatives have raked in 12 million. Labour 4 million.
So funny!

If the government released this stuff anyway, then Russia would have nothing to leak.

Can you imagine the Labour protests if the Government released the report now and it confirmed that Labour were in receipt of classified information supplied by Russia, as Reddit has implied?

piethorne goes to show that russia is interfering in UK politics by backing their puppet, komrade corbyn.

You do know the Soviet Union and communism ended almost thirty years ago.

Putin may hark back to the kind of control over people and society that happened in that era but everything else about today's Russia is the worst excesses of free marketeering.

That is why oligarchs fund the Conservative Party as it allows them to continue to fleece Russia and move this wealth to Western Europe.

jaymailsays you imagine the Labour protests if the Government released the report now and it confirmed that Labour were in receipt of classified information supplied by Russia, as Reddit has implied?

Are you seriously suggesting that the government is withholding a report into Russian interference in the British electoral system to protect the Labour Party?

Are you deluded or are you taking your cues from the PM and just making things up?

@jaymailsays please suggest it to Downing Street. The phone number is available thanks to Govey boy, because of course the Conservatives would delay releasing the report if it damaged Labour. 🤪😂🤣

Check out the rules in force, during the run up to a General Election that prevent all sorts of things.

I do believe this is the biggest piece of nonsense I've read all year

Apart from corbyn's party manifesto.

No one has claimed its untrue. They are just trying to blacken it by claiming its leaked by the Russians.
But considering the amount of Russian money donated to the tory party they wouldn't have leaked it.

Fake News!
Donations only come from British donors.

Check out Corbyn's Election Fund. £10,000 donated by a dubious source.

andath withholding a report into Russian interference in the British electoral system to protect the Labour Party?

You seem ignorant of the rules that forbid Parliamentary Select Committee Reports from being published during the suspension of Parliament, such as during an Election. In fact it is a criminal offence to leak or reveal anything from Reports, prior to publication.

andyslc

@jaymailsays although Boris could easily have released the report before that deadline but chose not to even though those that wrote it said it was in the public interest to do so. Makes you wonder why.

andath

This report was ready to go prior to the election being announced.
It's a little disingenuous to use such conventions to claim protection now (which may be true) having had weeks when you dragged your heels.

How can anyone with half a brain come to any other conclusion than that there is something to hide?

standardbearer

Maybe it is kept at bay from the public for genuine security reasons. That would not be the first time by different governments.
If this is the reason then yes , keep it from the public .

andath

standardbearer
It has been redacted.

Security services and civil servants have gone through it and blanked out anything that could be considered a security concern.

As said above, this report has been ready for release for months.

andath How can anyone with half a brain come to any other conclusion than that there is something to hide?

One half of you, will not have long to wait, it will be published in the New Year.

We will all find out the conclusions soon, although I suspect someone will say, the Chairman doctored it.

andyslc

@standardbearer document was already cleared for release by the security services so that doesn’t wash. Obvo if it hadn’t then fair enough.

Fact! BBC Website

"the law was changed so that only people on the UK electoral register were allowed to give to political parties."

piethorne You realise that Russia is no longer the USSR and as such is not exactly left wing any more don't you? What possible connection is there to be made by linking a criminal backed Crony capitalist authoritarian system that Russia has become, with a slightly left of centre Socialist democratic party like Labour?
