Putin doesn't pay money direct, obviously, that's a ridiculous assertion.

But the electoral commission, the Pandora Papers and plenty of other bodies and sources of evidence have established that millions of pounds have flowed from Putin-aligned Russian oligarchs to Tory MPs over the last decade. It's well-established fact.

If it's a ridiculous assertion then why say it.

Your amazing continued ignorance of all bad Tory stuff is your problem, not mine.

BTW we've moved past your diversionary tactics of trying to derail things by getting into semantics so you might want to try a new avenue of deflection.

My amazing ignorance of all bad Tory stuff is surpassed by your incredible innuendos and half truths centred on the prime Minister, I asked you once again in the context of your latest post to provide proof of your accusation where you implied the PM on numerous occasions had taken back handers from the Russian leader, not surprisingly you could not and left yourself back tracking not for the first time I might add, instead of accusing me of diversionary tactics in an attempt to hide your embarrassment, perhaps you might finally post actual facts full stop then I wouldn't have to ask you to explain or provide proof of your allegations, which are conveniently deflective tactics for you.

Nah. It's your misplaced superiority complex that's hilarious.

I wonder how much it costs the taxpayers every weekend that Johnson and family head to Chequers which is currently everyone.

Not being privvy to the Prime ministers social calendar I wouldn't know, but why wouldn't you expect his wife and child to go with him to Chequers when he goes, as for the cost, i would imagine it would cost the same as it did for any previous Pm including ex labour leaders as well depending on the size of the family and factoring in inflation if that helps.

I think you will find if you choose to look into it that previous Prime Minister’s did not visit Chequers every weekend. It is not the fact that he takes his family but the number of times he goes at our expense.
I wonder what you think to him taking a private jet to Blackpool rather than using the train or flying back from Cop 26 to attend a private dinner that was not government related which apparently he is still to pay the bill for.

Step forward and take a bow , you are in the running for the stupidest posting of the year.

Please explain and at the same time you can let me know why you keep defending the indefensible because only someone who is really gullible would still try to excuse his actions.

For the last time I think Johnson has been a disaster as a prime minister, I don’t like his family especially his father who is a deeply unpleasant individual. As a journalist his sister is next to useless and trades on the family name. At the next election if Johnson is still prime minister you and thousands of others will get the chance to vote him out. So in answer to your question I don’t defend the indefensible.
However I try to keep a fair and balanced veiw of life, the comings and going’s of government ministers is standard practice throughout the modern world and is obviously paid out of our taxes.
You may want to check out the USA presidents set up ,also macron over in France. The complaints about Truss flying on a government jet was pathetic, she was on a trade mission acompanied by advisors obviously they can work on the plane. Plus they are back quicker than a scheduled flight, so they are back working as soon as possible. Maybe the idiots moaning think she should fly by some budget airline.
