"The government have actively avoided looking for evidence Russia interfered."
The Intelligence & Security Committee's Stewart Hosie said the Toy government didn't investigate alleged Russian interference in the Brexit vote, and no one wanted to touch this "with a ten-foot pole".
Please repost if you want Starmer to set up a public inquiry into Russian interference in the Brexit referendum and the subsequent Tory cover-up.

@MyGlasgowCC hi the city council has designated areas in Kelvingrove Park for pipe bands practice. It's great news for residents, but the bands are practicing outside the areas. It's too loud. Who enforces this?
Knowing for the past few weeks that this moment was fast approaching didn’t make it any less heartbreaking to hear the news early this morning that Janey had died.
Janey Godley truly was a force of nature, and one of the funniest people I have ever known. I was able to visit her in the hospice a couple of weeks ago and though she was fragile, she still had me in stitches.
Janey was also incredibly kind. And she made the world a better place.
A bond was forged between us in the darkest days of Covid when her famous voiceovers of my daily briefings went viral. In the toughest of times, she made people laugh - and that was precious. She did more that that though. In managing to project the serious public health messages of my briefings to a much wider audience than I would have managed alone, she helped save lives.
The photos on this post are from an event we did together last year - it was a special night.
I was so proud to call Janey a friend and will miss her hugely. My heart goes out to her family and many friends - they are in my thoughts today.
I know Frank will have been there, holding the door for her as she went - with a tear in his eye, as I have in mine. RIP my friend ❤️
I’m so proud of my university - the @UofGlasgow - for doing this : bestowing a doctorate on the remarkable @JaneyGodley
Janey is a force of nature: funny, clever & brave. Her #ovariancancer journey has been both heartrending to watch & inspiring.
Thinking of Janey & her family.
