I guess the Tories' Russian donors'll be putting in even more cash now that the Times has categorically shown, without doubt and with absolute certainty and with the finest objective investigative reporting, that they may as well have poured their money into the Don (no, not him) for all the influence it had on the election (though it's still working well in the City I believe). кто-нибудь для тенниса?

WGS, I believe you are confusing Russian nationals, who may well contribute to political parties (though I believe donations above a certain amount have to be declared) and the Russian 'state' interfering in the democratic process?

Jeremy Corbyn’s pacifist illusion

Just because you don't take an interest in politics doesn't mean that politics won't take an interest in you. PERICLES.

No confusion here. The confusion's with those readers of the Times who've failed to notice that the erstwhile newspaper's 'investigative journalists' and 'academics' from Swansea together haven't provided a shred of evidence linking the 'Russian State' and Corbyn. If the Times seriously wants 'to investigate fully the true scale of Russian meddling in British politics' then it really ought to look at the oligarchical loot bursting the Tory coffers.

The link between Corbyn and Russia is obvious. If you, add some letters to Corbyn and take some others away it clearly spells: RUSSIA.

Excellent news. We can save over £1 billion a year by scrapping our various security departments and rely on a couple of hacks and 'academics' from the former Swansea Polytechnic to assess any threat from Russia.

Time for Jezza to put his hands up and admit he is an electoral liability. Governments always get a pasting in mid term polls but this administration that seems to run like a carry on film survived intact. Let's have a leader the general public can relate to.

£3 does not divide into 50?
