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.
