This appears to have flown under the radar with distractions of the tory government trying to take parliamentary standards to yet another new low.

Any lower Syd and this government will soon be on your doorstep

Yep I'm always wary on the basement level of underground carparks.

In any functioning democracy those responsible for what is detailed in the report you linked Sydney would, at minimum, have to resign. In any sensible democracy the possibility of treason prosecutions would be under active consideration.

As neither of these things have happened the conclusion we can draw is obvious.

How far we have fallen.

When the Intelligence and Security Committee finally published the Russia Report, they were incredulous that the PM hadn't ordered the security services to investigate Russian meddling in our elections.

That day, Johnson's response in the House was that he hadn't ordered them to search for evidence of Russian meddling, because he'd seen no evidence of Russian meddling.

That was when I realised what a hole we were in. No British PM in history would have been so blasé about something so fundamental to our security.

And it's all been forgotten about. No-one ever held him to task. And to this day we still don't know what his motive was for that.

johnson does have a personal stake in keeping it quiet, as reported he met with a person to discuss brexit later named as a russian agent by Robert Mueller

And this is a good potted version of events if you have a minute or two ............ it shows johnson twisting in the wind, shapps, well just being his usual self really and blunderraab excels himself.
