About this listen

Westminster is caught up in bitter Brexit debates and Trump’s first term in office is getting mired in investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Suddenly the two worlds collide in the form of an enigmatic Maltese professor, revealed in the unsealing of FBI indictments.


Sergei is disgusted with the atmosphere pervading British politics. Meanwhile, new trolling tactics of the Russian embassy, echoed by some on UK political fringes, takes a threatening turn, directed not least against Carole and then UK Prime Minister, Theresa May.


How much does the foreign secretary at the time, Boris Johnson, know about suspected Russian interference? Not a sausage it turns out.
