Yes, if his "intelligence" on Corbyn is as good as his agency's information on Iraq's WMD was then we have nothing to worry about from Mr Corbyn. If I'd got the Iraqi situation so wrong I think I'd keep quiet. In case he hasn't noticed East Germany merged with the Federal German Republic and the Soviet Union no longer exists. He should be more worried about Johnson suppressing the report on Russian interference in elections and Russian donations to the Tory party. Yesterday's man with outmoded ideas, and no doubt a Tory?

You mean that The West Berlin office of the Circus is no longer under the command of Station Head Alec Leamas? Then who will protect us from the Abteilung, run by Mundt?-------------------------"Time magazine, while including The Spy Who Came In from the Cold in its top 100 novels list, stated that the novel was "a sad, sympathetic portrait of a man who has lived by lies and subterfuge for so long, he's forgotten how to tell the truth."""he's forgotten how to tell the truth."

They must be desperate to wheel out this old smear, as they did with Harold Wilson and Michael Foot. If Corbyn was a Russian spy, he wouldn't want to draw attention to himself by only bowing his head by five degrees at the Cenetaph rather than the obligatory twenty. At least he wore a proper overcoat, unlike the other two!

I believe that Corbyn laid his wreath the right way up, too.

I find it strange to imagine which foreign power Corbyn is supposed to likely support against the interests of this country.Who at the moment is likely to attack us and for what purpose ?Can't be Russia surely.After all President Trump has no problem in having friendly relations with them even to extent of trying to screw Ukraine who HAVE been invaded by them.

I haven't watched Question Time in years but I do watch Politics Live regularly. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to see and hear politicians challenged. BBC 2.

The KGB have always been ahead in the spy game.Allegations of bunging money to the Tories and buying newspapers was just a decoy.Their real aim was to awaken their sleeper agent at just the right time to get the leadership nominated, by sending secret messages disguised as vegetables
