What's more, Evgeny Lebedev sits in the House of Lords. Despite the sanctions following the invasion of Ukraine, Britain is still lousy with Russian oligarchs with a worrying amount of influence.
There’s probably a case to be made for not allowing any Lords or MPs unless they are British by birth rather than naturalisation or descent.

It's Alexander who is the main concern really, but it doesn't seem so easy to separate Alexander from Evgeny.
Also someone who just happens to be rich because daddy is perhaps not worth of a peerage, and not entirely how the system is supposed to work. Unless he actually did anything special, which I don't think he did.
Are you sure? I think that’s exactly how it’s supposed to work and is how it’s always worked.
Quite how the House of Lords persists in a ‘democracy’ is troubling enough on its own.
