101 Things You Should Know About the UK Tory Government

Thing 35

When the unelected Rishi Sunak assumed power, he promised:

This government will have integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level.

Yet Tory MP David Warburton, who has been found to have breached the code of parliamentary conduct over a £150,000 loan he received from a Russian businessman, is not facing any disciplinary action 

“No formal sanction for Tory MP who broke rules on declaring interests. Standards commissioner finds David Warburton violated code of conduct twice…"  (The Guardian: 21/11/22) 

So much for Sunak’s Downing Street promise of accountability and integrity.

There are no indications that the Forum voor Democratie foundation received donations from Russia or other foreign countries around the Ukraine referendum, De Groene Amsterdammer and Investico reported. Investigative journalists from the two media tracked down the 2016 figures for the foundation that started Thierry Baudet’s far-right political party in a lawsuit from 2017. The financial statements of the FvD and the foundation behind it have been a hot topic of discussion in recent weeks. Two weeks ago, parliamentarians of GroenLinks-PvdA and D66 repeatedly asked Baudet to publish the annual figures during a parliamentary debate. The issue became so heated that, after the debate, Baudet threatened to punch GroenLinks-PvdA parliamentarian Jesse Klaver. Shortly after, the Czech authorities reported that they dismantled a Russian “disinformation network” that paid Western politicians to take pro-Russian positions. Czech media reported that Dutch politicians were involved. Baudet and his FvD quickly came up in the resulting speculation, given the party’s pro-Russia stances and reluctance to publish its financials. The government has refused to say whether the Czech authorities provided any names to the AIVD.

So, in one specific year the FvD didn't receive monies from Russia. Besides I'd be surprised if, in their financial statement for that or any other year, there was an entry labelled “from Russia” or rather “van Rusland.”

That girl will astonish us all. Do not let the fact that she is so quiet fool you: she has powerful passions within her.

Ivan Turgenev, Rudin (1856)

#i love this man as much as hemingway did when he had no money for food but still bought all of turgenev's works from sylvia beach #'at first there were the russians; then there were all the others. but for a long time there were the russians.' - a moveable feast #ivan turgenev #rudin #literature

Dang. Idk if anyone has ever laid out Donald Trump’s entanglement with Russia sO clearly.

If you’ve had enough of watching the Trump clowns defending Trump & white supremacy, the Sutori link is definitely worth reading. It is a very enlightening, detailed and comprehensive timeline that puts Trump’s very very long history with Russian mobsters into sharp perspective.

Switzerland has for years been the destination of choice for Russian oligarchs and corrupt officials to hide their stolen money. Swiss banks are estimated to hold over $200 billion in stashed Russian cash.

The United States recently opened an investigation into Swiss banks helping #Russia to evade sanctions, subpoenaing the two largest Swiss banks at the time. Switzerland is also key to Russian #evasion of export controls meant to ensure Russia cannot resupply its military and continue its war.

Russian-induced corruption within the Swiss law enforcement system led to the resignation of the former top prosecutor of Switzerland and the conviction of a senior Swiss law enforcement official on bribery charges. Switzerland is now primed to send millions in frozen Russian dirty money related to the revelations of Sergei Magnitsky to the Russians who stole it.

This hearing will examine Switzerland’s key role in laundering Russian money. Witnesses will discuss how Switzerland came to be a favorite destination for Russian dirty money, how Russian corruption in Switzerland endangers U.S. national security and the ability of Ukraine to defend itself, and possible policy responses. This hearing builds on years of work by the #Commission to hold Switzerland to account for its role in Russian money laundering and corruption.

The following witnesses are scheduled to testify:

1Bill Browder, Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign

2Drew Sullivan, Co-Founder, Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP)

3Olena Tregub, Secretary General, Independent Defense Anti-Corruption Committee (NAKO)

god. threads really is the home of the most dogshit takes of the internet isn't it

#today in suggested posts that instagram forced into my feed: #reading classic russian novels is exactly the same / morally worse than continuing to vocally support and promote harry potter content #look in terms of what you read and post about you can do whatever you like forever #but some people really don't grasp the difference between 'person who was dead for decades before anyone involved in current politics #was even born' and 'person using money from the sales of their IP to materially harm people currently right now in the real world' #and they have terrible takes as a result of it
