Markov/Litvinenko 2.0

Sonic67

Actually surprised by May, appropriate response, and equally with Corbyn. Dodgy Russian cash is something I’ve smelt longer than Corbyn has been leader of Labour. All round a good response, by both.

So how much is Corbyn getting from appearing on Russia Today? Post 29.

Nowhere near £800,000  that the Tories are alleged to have accepted from Russian Oligarchs.

Corbyn is just one person not the torreess. So how much?

Oligarchs are individuals not connected to the Russian state.

Personally, I think it could have been addressed at a better time. May attacks Russia for being involved and Corbyn's response is that she's a Russian Stooge?  

IronGiant

I looked up the definition of oligarch on various websites and found they are connected to the Russian state.

I'd go for: "a very rich business leader with a great deal of political influence."

(which doesn't mean they aren't connected with the Russian State)

Does it matter? Both Tory and Labour have appeared on RT.

Tory MPs have taken four times more money for appearing on Russia Today than Labour MPs

Farage was well in with RT and Salmon, sure he has a regular slot.
Just pull their (RT) license, and it should be just beginning of further sanctions.
