The Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has offered Russian help in the announced enquiry into foreign interference.
'It is a terrible thing if a Sovereign State's business is interfered in,' he said today, 'and it looks like the UK might have UK politicians involved. You won't know who to trust, so it's best to let an independent country run your investigation. We in Russia will be happy to help, we'll look at all the evidence available about your politicians, in fact we might even look at your copies too, and we'll identify who is most likely to be compromised,' he added. 'We can complete that part of the enquiry by six pm, if that helps,' he noted.
Senior current and former British politicians including Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have welcomed the enquiry and urged the government to hand over the job to Russia. 'We know the Russians well,' said spokespeople for both politicians. 'Very well, indeed.'
