Who seriously believes that the Russians aren't trying to destabilise the UK elections? What are the British authorities doing about it?

France is clearly on a major counter-intelligence drive against Russia at the moment. The country's internal security service "is investigating an attempt to destabilize the European elections by pro-Russians in France"

Wherein a businessman with strong UK links and holding a St Kitts passport supplies components to allow Russia to develop its Arctic gas fields. No, not my novel, A Spy Alone, just a reminder that I wrote fiction about a world that exists in reality.

What’s a ‘former MI6 operative’? Does he mean ‘officer’? How do we know it’s true? If so, did MI6 permit him to make this public? If so is the story actually fiction? No shortage of Russians in Summertown…no shortage of nuclear physicists in Oxford…

Once again, life is imitating art in #ASpyAlone . I included #Atreju conference, its roots in fascism, since there is a troubling nexus between attendees (Bannon, Orbán) and support for Russia. But I never imagined a UK PM would be attending.

Rwanda's disappearing dissidents

DW has put together a list of mysterious deaths and disappearances of people critical of Rwanda's government. Monday's killing of businessman Revocant Karemangingo in Mozambique is the latest.
