UK Labour lawmaker asks govt for tougher stance on Russia

London, Nov 15 (UNI/Sputnik) UK Labour lawmaker and shadow foreign minister Lisa Nandy on Monday said “there is more we can do to be tough on Russia,” as she accused Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative government of doing nothing to implement recommendations made 18 months ago to stop London being a haven for Russian “dark money.”
“For as long as this government isn’t prepared to take tough action to make sure the UK isn’t a home for some of that dark money, the message that would be received loud and clear in Moscow is that the government will say one thing but do quite another. We’d really need to see some tough and robust actions on that to show the UK’s leading by example,” Nandy told the Sky News broadcaster.
She said Johnson “has been sitting” for 18 months on a report issued by the UK parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee that “shows how London is still haven for the dark money that helps to sustain Putin’s regime.”
