Labour — Bermondsey and Old Southwark

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 February 2026

Debate

Russian Influence on UK Politics and Democracy

Contribution

Does the hon. Member also agree that there is a gap in the information that politicians and those who fund us need to supply? It cannot be acceptable for any Member, or any political leader in the UK, to forget that they met the Russian ambassador, to forget that they met someone who later turned out to be a Russian spy—as did the Reform leader in Wales—or to seem to have forgotten who paid for their house in Clacton.
