Letter to the I: Theresa May and Russia Letter


I take issue with Nathan Hazlett’s praise of Theresa May allegedly standing up to the Russian President Putin in the wake of the Salisbury poisoning.  As Home Secretary Theresa May tried to block a full government inquiry into the poisoning of Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko citing “international relations” concerns.  As Prime Minister she could of gone much further with sanctions against Russia, given that the financial hub that is London is awash with Russian money.  But just as with the rest of her premiership she preferred empty posturing to effective action.
