I'm delighted to announce the publication of my first book, UNREDACTED: RUSSIA, TRUMP AND THE FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY, by

As a matter of priority, we need to know the full details of Johnson’s relationship with the Lebedevs and especially what transpired at the meeting with Aleksandr Lebedev in Italy in 2018. This is an issue of real national security importance and a thread that must now be pulled.

Nigel Farage’s remarks to the BBC, that NATO and the EU provoked the Ukraine war, are disgraceful. Russia signed the 1994 Budapest Memo guaranteeing Ukrainian territorial integrity and NATO is a purely defensive alliance. Putin bears sole responsibility for the over 500,000 dead.

Igor Danchenko’s unmasking and indictment is one of the most disgraceful episodes in US judicial history. Igor, a valuable FBI source on Russia, was thrown under the bus for partisan political gain. Imo the only beneficiaries from Barr and Durham’s actions are Putin and the FSB.

The UK’s new Labour government needs to dust off the ISC’s 2020 Russia Report classified annex with a view to sanitising and publishing it. The British people should know why Boris Johnson suppressed the report and just how far Putin and his cronies have corrupted our democracy.

Earlier this year, when he lost his English High Court case against us, the judge ordered Donald Trump to pay Orbis an initial £300k in costs. Trump, who claims to respect the UK, has now been in breach of this order for two months and faces enforcement if he travels here again.

The US media’s repeated references to the Trump-Russia ‘Dossier’ as ‘discredited’ are sloppy journalism. Despite a blow torch of politically-motivated criticism, the main tenets of it, including on collusion, have held up well. And few, if any, of the details have been disproven.

The British media and political class have started normalising Trump and his isolationist running mate J.D. Vance, thinking they might win in November. In reality this ticket poses a profound threat to our security, economy and Rule of Law. I hope we are planning accordingly.

Trump's latest claim, that all the civil cases he's embroiled in are part of a political conspiracy, is complete hogwash. He initiated a suit against us in London last year, lost, had his appeal request rejected and costs awarded against him. Four months on, he has yet to pay up.

Johnson’s letter to Parliament about his Lebedev meeting in Italy in 2018 lacks any credibility. Do he and his advisors think we’re idiots? We want straight answers to simple questions. With whom did he travel there? What did he discuss with AL? And where is the detailed record?

As Johnson leaves office we mustn’t let him get away without answering key security questions about his relations with the Lebedevs, especially on the 2018 meeting in Italy. Who did he travel there with, what did he discuss with Aleksandr and is there a detailed account of this?

Viktor Orban, an autocratic ally of Putin and enemy of Ukraine must not be indulged any longer. He has put Hungary, a minnow within NATO and the EU, on the wrong side of history. The large Member States should give him an ultimatum. Join us in opposing tyranny or face expulsion.

Sadly last week demonstrated the ‘Russia problem’ isn’t just with Trump but has metastasised throughout the Republican Party. No one hates the US more than Putin and yet, despite this,Trump’s congressional allies seem determined to block further aid to Ukraine at all costs. Why?

The concerns we raised in 2016, about Trump and his campaign’s curious support for and subservience to Putin’s Russia, are now in plain sight. Were Trump re-elected, he would end aid to Ukraine and suspend NATO mutual defence commitments, thus creating a era of strategic chaos.

The killing of Dugina in Russia’s looking increasingly like the 1999 Moscow apartment bombings. If so, it’s a false flag op by an FSB faction, blamed on Putin’s enemies and designed to whip up nationalist fervour in support of military escalation (in Chechnya then, Ukraine now).

Russia under Putin has become a terrorist state. Western governments must treat it as such. And the Russian people have to start accepting some responsibility for all this. Hiding out abroad to avoid the draft or remaining passive and compliant at home simply doesn’t cut it.

The Durham report’s failure to redact the names of alleged Russian sources is reprehensible. Some are based in Russia, others co-operated with the USG. Putin’s regime is renowned for brutal retribution. But Durham still threw them to the wolves to propagate his partisan theories.

Why didn’t UK join the EU ban on insurance cover for ships exporting Russian oil? As a result the EU has now softened its ban, letting Putin etc off the hook. Russian oil’s also being moved between tankers just offshore UK,to dodge sanctions. HMG needs to get a grip on all this.

So with former FBI source Smirnov’s US indictment, for peddling Kremlin disinformation about Joe Biden, the real Russia ‘hoax’ turns out to have been attempts by MAGA Republicans to impeach the president based on it. The only question now is if this was witting collusion or not.

It’s curious but instructive to watch Republican senator Lindsey Graham twisting and turning to gruntle Trump, the biggest threat to western security in our lifetime. Previously a hawk on Russia, Graham has now voted against further aid to Kyiv, thus enabling Putin. Disgraceful.

As it becomes clear Russia trained and equipped Hamas to foment instability in the ME and distract attention from Ukraine, Media Attention Deficit Disorder(MADD) is helping Putin to fulfil his aims. Our press needs to refocus on this other war which is entering a critical phase.

The questions US politicians and all of us should be asking Netanyahu concern his lack of support for Ukraine (a threatened democracy with an elected Jewish leader) and his odd relationship with Putin. Russia is allied with Israel’s sworn enemy, Iran. It makes no sense at all.

The hypocrisy and hubris of Senator Lindsey Graham know no bounds. When a protege of John McCain, Graham was a strong Russia hawk. Now he’s trying to gruntle Trump/MAGA, Graham voted against aid to Kyiv but still showed up there telling Zelensky how to run the war. Breathtaking.

After becoming president in 2000, Putin was invited to the G8, represented Russia at D-Day remembrance and hosted by the Queen at Buckingham Palace. He’s now an indicted war criminal, absent BRICS summits and welcomed only by Kim Jong-un. Rarely has a world leader fallen so far.

The Ukrainian counter-offensive in Kharkiv/Kherson has so far exceeded all expectations. If the ragbag Russian army of indisciplined drunks and thieves is routed, as now seems possible, it will be the end for Putin. Despite his propaganda machine, he can’t survive defeat in war.

For anyone considering the wisdom of negotiating with Moscow to end the Ukraine war, you should take another look at the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, signed by Russia. A more flagrant breach of a legally-binding international agreement by a nation state would be hard to imagine.

Trump’s favoured Ukraine ‘peace’ deal apparently involves ceding Crimea and the Donbas to Moscow. This would be a triumph for Putin and disastrous for European security. Within 5 years Russia would have regrouped and rearmed and we, NATO, would find ourselves at war with them.

After Russia’s mass missile attack today on Ukrainian civilian targets in revenge for Kyiv’s strike on a Russian naval ship, we shouldn’t be in any doubt. This war will not end until either Putin destroys Ukraine or he’s toppled or defeated on the battlefield. It’s that simple.

It’s depressingly predictable watching the anti-Ukraine, pro-Putin faction in the US Republican Party at work. Both in congress and among presidential hopefuls there’s a growing isolationist demand to reduce or cut off aid to Kyiv. These people want to hand victory to Putin. Why?

And to correct the Danchenko trial record, we were not offered $1 million by the FBI to ‘prove up’ our Trump-Russia reporting. Rather, we were told there were substantial funds to resettle sources in the US if they were prepared to testify in public. Understandably they were not.

CBS’s report that Russia’s GRU military intelligence is likely responsible for US officials suffering from ‘Havana Syndrome’ is great work and highly significant. It suggests Putin’s thugs have been waging war on us since 2014. If true, a suitably strong response is now required.

Ukraine needs western financial and military aid now, without further delay. Pro-Putin MAGA Republicans are blocking this in congress. The best way to get round them is to approve release of the circa $300 billion of Russian assets frozen at the start of the war. It must be done.

And according to CBS, the mastermind of the Havana Syndrome op is Russian Security Council deputy head, Averyanov. He even recruited his own son into the operation. Averyanov also ran the Skripal op in Salisbury and likely Prigozhin’s plane crash. One fine day justice awaits him.

At last, after numerous evaded parliamentary questions, the truth of Johnson’s unofficial meeting with Lebedev in Italy in 2018 is out. Unprecedented in my experience, reckless and a clear threat to national security. Where was the Security Service in all this for Heaven’s sake?

It’s great the US House has voted through the $61 billion Ukraine aid package. Hopefully a turning point in the war that represents a big defeat for Trump, his Republican acolytes and Putin’s regime. But we must beware of Moscow launching a new offensive before the aid impacts.

Finally, we must consider making it illegal for any Western company to do business in Russia, for as long as this war lasts. If we shy away from preparing such tough measures, Putin will be able to regroup and re-arm, with Moldova, Georgia and the Baltics in his gunsights next.

We shouldn’t be letting Ukraine slip off the news and the political agenda. This is a critical point in the war and we should be hitting Putin’s Russia where it really hurts. So we need a Russian tourist visa ban now and effective oil sanctions,as there’ve been none such to date.

Right now it is vital to understand one key point. Putin’s regime is not interested in negotiations or peace in Ukraine. Like Hitler before him, the only ways to stop Putin are to defeat him on the battlefield or collapse the Russian economy through sanctions, or preferably both.

Furthermore, Durham and Jordan yesterday stated as facts things that are not right. Dolan was not a ‘major source’ for the ‘Dossier’; Danchenko was not a Russian asset (but rather the opposite); and the decision to take our Trump-Russia reporting to the FBI in 2016 was mine.
