‘Boris Johnson tried to discourage or limit discussion in Parliament about Evgeny Lebedev for the following reasons:

1 i) Coordinated complaints: Johnson and Evgeny Lebedev reportedly made simultaneous complaints to the House of Commons Speaker about Labour MP Matt Western's questions regarding Johnson's attendance at parties at Lebedev's Italian villa [2]. This suggests an attempt to silence or discourage further questioning on the topic.

1 ii) Dismissive responses: When asked about the parties in Parliament, Johnson responded by saying he "simply fail[ed] to detect any crouton of substance in the minestrone of nonsense" that was spoken [2]. This dismissive language appears aimed at delegitimizing the questions.

1 iii) Refusal to release information: Johnson refused to release details of the security service advice he received about Lebedev's appointment to the House of Lords, despite a vote by MPs compelling him to do so. He cited "national security" concerns as the reason [2].

1 iv) Accusations of xenophobia: Johnson's spokesman described coverage of Evgeny Lebedev's peerage as "a tiresome and xenophobic campaign" [3]. This framing attempts to portray scrutiny of the appointment as discriminatory rather than based on legitimate concerns.

1 v) Claims of Russophobia: When the House of Lords Appointments Commission advised against Lebedev's nomination due to security concerns, Johnson reportedly reacted furiously, claiming their advice was "Russophobic" [3].

1 vi) Vague answers: When questioned about his meeting with Alexander Lebedev, Johnson provided vague responses, stating that "as far as I am aware, no Government business was discussed" [4]. This phrasing avoids a direct denial and limits further inquiry.

1 vii) These actions suggest Johnson sought to avoid detailed scrutiny or discussion of his relationship with the Lebedevs and the circumstances surrounding Evgeny Lebedev's appointment to the House of Lords.

2) ‘Based on the available information, here are the key details known about Boris Johnson's meeting with Alexander Lebedev in Italy:

2 i) Timing: The meeting took place in April 2018, specifically around April 28-29, when Johnson was serving as the UK's Foreign Secretary [1] [2] [3].

2 ii) Location: The meeting occurred at Palazzo Terranova, a luxury villa in Umbria, Italy, owned by the Lebedev family [1] [3].

2 iii) Context: This meeting happened shortly after Johnson attended a NATO summit in Brussels where Russia and security issues were discussed, and about a month after the Salisbury nerve agent attack in the UK [2] [3].

2 iv) Circumstances: Johnson attended a party hosted by Evgeny Lebedev, Alexander's son, at the villa. During this event, he met with Alexander Lebedev without any officials present [1] [3] [4].

2 v) Admission: Johnson initially avoided confirming the meeting but later admitted to it during a session with the Commons liaison committee in July 2022 [3] [4].

2 vi) Official oversight: No government officials were present during the meeting, and Johnson did not inform officials about it afterward [2] [4].

2 vii) Content of discussion: Johnson stated that "as far as I am aware, no Government business was discussed," but this phrasing has been criticized as evasive and falling short of an outright denial [2] [4].

2 viii) Concerns: The meeting has raised security concerns due to Alexander Lebedev's background as a ‘former’ KGB agent and the sensitive timing following the Salisbury incident [2] [3].

2 ix) Surveillance: According to a Channel 4 documentary, Italy's secret intelligence service was monitoring the Lebedev villa at the time of Johnson's visit due to suspicions of potential espionage activities [1].

2 x) Controversy: The meeting has become a subject of political scrutiny in the UK, with questions raised about potential security risks and the appropriateness of a senior government official meeting privately with a former KGB agent [2] [3] [4].’

Extract

‘The Missing Brexit Threat Assessment It has taken Parliament more than 14 years to recognise the true nature of the Russian President’s regime.

With the KGB-trained Putin now ensconced for life, conducting wars in Ukraine and Syria, and funding far-right parties across Europe to destabilise any institutions that can challenge his interests, this is – as the report makes clear in its remarks on MI5, MI6 and GCHQ – a deadly oversight. The lethal nature of the threat from the Kremlin should have been obvious with the assassination of Alexander Litvinenko in 2006. A former colleague of Putin’s in the Russian security service, the FSB, Litvinenko had become a British citizen and was exposing Kremlin links to crime syndicates based in Spain when he was assassinated using a lethal and rare isotope of Polonium manufactured in a Russian state facility.

The attempted murder of the Skripals with the Novichok nerve agent two years ago was the culmination of a murderous campaign which led to up to 14 suspicious deaths in the UK, as reported by Heidi Blake and Buzzfeed News. The report contains a redacted comment on this.

But why has it taken so long? And why did Boris Johnson try to suppress this report? One can only conclude that, on several scores, it was embarrassing to him and those close to him.

Apart from the Lebedev and Temerko connections, Johnson had a wealth of other contacts with wealthy Russian oligarchs as Mayor of London. In the past few years, the Conservative Party has been a major beneficiary of donations from Russian expatriates. Meanwhile, several senior Brexit-supporting businessmen such as Jim Mellon and the Chandler brothers made extensive fortunes in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and some senior parliamentary figures, such as Jacob Rees-Mogg, still have major investments there now.’

Peter Jukes 21 July 2020

4) ‘Johnson's actions and scandals during his time in office raise serious ethical concerns and potential violations of rules and norms. Here are the key points that can be substantiated from the given information:

4 i) Johnson faced allegations of corruption and cronyism, particularly regarding COVID-19 procurement. There were claims of contracts being awarded to Conservative Party donors and those with links to the government, even when equipment delivered was unusable or of poor quality [5].

4 ii) Johnson was found to have knowingly held illegal parties at Downing Street during COVID-19 lockdowns and repeatedly lied to Parliament about them. A House of Commons select committee report concluded that he misled Parliament multiple times regarding these events [4].

4 iii) Johnson's government faced scrutiny over the refurbishment of his official residence, with allegations of seeking donations from a party donor to fund the renovations. The Conservative Party was fined for failing to properly report these donations [1].

4 iv) There were concerns about Johnson's appointments, including supporting MP Priti Patel despite findings that she breached the Ministerial Code through bullying behavior, and appointing Chris Pincher despite prior sexual misconduct allegations [1].

4 v) Johnson's tenure saw a decline in standards of public life, with two independent Ethics Advisers and even the Prime Minister's Anti-Corruption Champion resigning [5].

4 vi) The "Partygate" scandal resulted in Johnson becoming the first UK prime minister found to have broken the law while in office [1].

4 vii) Johnson's government was criticised for its handling of the Owen Paterson lobbying scandal, initially backing efforts to overturn the suspension of a Conservative MP accused of lobbying violations [1].

4 viii) There were concerns about the abolition of DFID (Department for International Development) and subsequent de-prioritization of anti-corruption efforts in international development [5].

4 ix) It's crucial to emphasize that in a democratic society, the principle that no one is above the law should be upheld. Any allegations of misconduct or corruption by public officials, including former prime ministers, should be thoroughly investigated through proper legal channels.’
