PMQs live: Boris Johnson quizzed by Keir Starmer over lack of sanctions on Roman Abramovich | The Guardian |

A show of unity? A cheap shot to score political points ... Europe is at war, people are dying ... it's not a digital game we are watching. Utter despair ... failure of all.

Not being in the EU gives the UK a competitive advantage.

So, their list of Russian banks sanctioned is shorter, ensuring lucrative transactions. Likewise, the list of oligarchs sanctioned.

Boris owes his political life to Putin. The war came just in time to save his sorry arse.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich 'selling UK properties' as Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss claims he has been offered the chance to buy the club
"I and three other people received an offer on Tuesday to buy Chelsea from Abramovich. I have to wait four to five days now. Abramovich is currently asking far too much. You know, Chelsea owe him £2billion. But Chelsea has no money. As of today, we don't know the exact selling price. I can well imagine starting at Chelsea with partners. But I have to examine the general conditions first.
