Did they ever respond? Or is Comrade Corbyn awaiting further instructions from the Kremlin before answering?This twitter thread seems to be interesting.

Hear hear.It's a bit odd that old Marxists like Corbyn still have a loyalty to Russia, even though it ceased to be Communist some 30 years ago. Russia is now run by a bunch of gangsters on the take. There's nothing remotely socialist about it.
Havent the French and other leading EU & Nato nations already stated they've recieved regular updates and evidence from the UK govn concerning the attack or whatever .Did they ever respond? Or is Comrade Corbyn awaiting further instructions from the Kremlin before answering?
Nostalgia. Or something.It's a bit odd that old Marxists like Corbyn still have a loyalty to Russia, even though it ceased to be Communist some 30 years ago. Russia is now run by a bunch of gangsters on the take. There's nothing remotely socialist about it.

The end game is to send a message to potential spies. You're going to die horribly if you even think about betraying us. On our timeline. No matter what protection you think you might have.I find the whole assassination attempt of the former Spy and his daughter thing a little strange. If the Russians wanted to kill him, there were lots of ways to do it without leaving such a clear calling-card that this was a state-sponsored assassination. Whoever killed him knew where he lived, so why not pay him a visit in his house, robbery gone wrong kind of thing, and then disappear into the night? People might still ask questions, but not to the degree they would when a fucking soviet manufactured nerve agent is used. It is obvious that someone, probably Putin, but not necessarily, wants to engineer serious friction between the U.K. and Russia. To what end is the question.
Well the frogs were saying they wanted evidence yesterday and now they're saying they're convinced, so obvs new shit has come to light.
Or maybe pressure of opinion, wide political and social condemnation from across the Western hemisphere, and re-evaluation of existing information, caused a change of mind.

I agree with this, it is odd, doesn't make sense. With Litvenenko they spent 20mill just on the Polonium, which normally wouldn't have been detected and was only a bit of a fluke it was. With this guy, it was an absolutely messy, public, way of doing it. A bullet in the back of the head would have been far cheaper and cleaner, and not caught either (I presume this poisoning one, the people are long gone).
It smacks not of the state, but them either putting a contract up and someone doing it in this idiotic way, or, someone else getting involved who wants to stir shit with the Russians, and the Russians can't really do anything as they've no idea on it either and it's been made to look like them. I'm not saying it was them, but the yanks 'could' have easily pulled this one off front to back if they wanted to.
The people who are thinking Corbyn is showing some sort of commie loyalty to Russia are utterly brainless. he (rightly) sees Russia as more of a right wing nationalist entity. I think his comments have been lacklustre, and playing into the hands of this ludicrous narrative though. This all needs intelligent U.S. leadership, a combined Europe and a strong U.K. government or Russia will continue to seed problems everywhere they can. Oops.
This..I get that Corbyn is too much a pacisfist to deal with the psychopaths who lead our enemies and allies, I just wish the only other option wasn't Boris Fucking Johnson. What a fucking mess Westminster is in.
One newspaper reporting that the nerve agent was planted in the daughters suitcase.

Why would Russia act like this, and now? From what I read, they could have done this fella years ago, before trading him to the UK for the return of some Russian spies.
Could be the UK government wanting some political friction, both internally and externally.
The Corbyn is a Commie chants will give a special taste now. I found the overly aggressive tone of May a bit too strange.
Seems like a political ploy to me.
