BORIS Johnson has been quizzed over why the UK Government hasn’t published its report into alleged Russian interference in UK politics.
The SNP’s Richard Thomson used his question at PMQs to reference the fact that Lubov Chernukhin – the wife of Vladimir Putin’s one-time deputy finance minister – had paid £20,000 at auction to have lunch with the then Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson.
