Blackford claims Russians give money to Tories

Ian Blackford has said that Russian oligarchs 鈥渨eren't stopped, they were encouraged鈥 when giving 鈥済olden handshakes鈥 in Britain.

The SNP Westminster leader said they had given 拢2.3m to the Conservatives since Boris Johnson came to office, which he claimed was a block to further sanctions against Russia.

The PM denied raising money from oligarchs, but instead from people on the electoral register. And he criticised former SNP leader Alex Salmond, a leading presenter on the Russia Today TV channel.
