Leigh on Extreme Right
A row flared when the Commons All-Party Russia Group attended a lunch hosted by hardline pro-Putin diplomat Yakovenko on Tuesday.
Its Tory chairman, Sir Edward Leigh, whose wife Mary is descended from Russia's Romanov royal family, showered praise on the country's 'language, culture, people and beauty', and repeatedly pressed diplomats to arrange a trip to Moscow for MPs.
In 2014, Sir Edward said the West should 'accommodate' Putin's occupation of Ukraine because it was 'part of the Russian soul'.
Leigh? Have you taken Russian money.... ever?
