'impartial' my arse. It's staggering that the British public can't work out that the right wing press (now augmented by multiple broadcasters) set the agenda of debate in this country, and this makes any alternative approach appear like an 'agenda' or 'MSM.
Please can we get rid of Davie asap.

This is an old story (you might have missed it at the time) and there isn't much new out there beyond the fact Italian Security services were monitoring the house, which isn't a surprise.
The party and the controversial Lebedev peerage have all been covered by the BBC.

The prime minister admits he met Alexander Lebedev, an ex-KGB agent, without officials present.

There wasn't much new in the Channel Four documentary I'm afraid, but they did omit the bit about Katie Price....

Good work. Not an evil right wing media conspiracy after all then ... the absolute state of some people on this thread.
At what point can it the point that they are removed from power without a General Election? Or a GE is forced upon them?
That can’t happen can it?

Not in this case, but I can give you countless examples of the press media ignoring stories like this (if not the BBC) who have given it lots of coverage.
I've just happened to have followed this story very closely, because I knew what he got up to as London Mayor.
If YOU had bothered to follow that, you'd be appalled he ever became PM....
If you are a decent human being.
This is a good opportunity for Rishi to show her the door but will he take it? Of course he won’t, a coward with extra small balls, no?

He can't show her the door, an MP can only be removed by his/her constituents. Normally at a General Election but an election can be called if enough constituents sign a petition (I think it's 10%). If an MP is suspended from the House for, I think, 30 days, then that will also trigger an election.
Thunder Bolt
Silly old bat
10 days suspension or a prison sentence of more than 12 months will trigger a recall if 10% of constituents want it.
He’s terrified of the by-election it’d cause. He might be even more terrified after the upcoming two.

Russian politics is so complicated it's quite easy to put individuals into good and bad guy boxes.
The younger Lebedev wrote an open letter to Putin asking to stop the invasion.
However it's very clear why the Johnson's of this world stay so close and it's simply about the money.
Nothing to do with their potential political influence over the Russian regime. Putin doesn't need their money, he's got billions stashed away.

older Lebedev owned the major opposition paper, critical of Putin until he shut it down just after the start of the war. didnt help him much with the west, our politics is complicated too.

It should 1 of 4 up coming by elections. Why bother fighting 4 by elections, would be better to have a general election.
Obviously we won't have a GE as they would be trounced so we have a zombie government for another year.
Sunak is only talking about his pledges and priorities and isn't bringing in any new legislation because his party doesn't support him so even their parliamentary majority is meaningless
