    Russia has been working overtime this past month to absolve itself of alleged involvement in the poisoning of former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia on British soil. It has claimed that it does not possess Novichok, the military-grade nerve agent used in the attack. It has accused the United Kingdom and its allies of spearheading an anti-Russia crusade. It has even gone so far as to suggest that the U.K. might itself have been behind the attack. But, lacking evidence to back up such claims, Moscow’s effort to cast doubt on the accusations against it have been futile. That is, until British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson stepped in. The deletion came just one day after Gary Aitkenhead, Porton Down’s chief executive, told Sky News the lab was unable to pin...

    The Labour leader was photographed at a Passover Seder hosted by Jewdas, a satirical group which describes itself as radical and is highly critical of mainstream Jewish organisations. Last week Jewdas attacked the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council’s response to the Labour anti-Semitism scandal as playing a dangerous game with people’s lives. It also reportedly described the row as the work of cynical manipulations by people whose express loyalty is to the Conservative Party and the right wing of the Labour Party. MPs and campaigners warned Mr Corbyn's decision to attend the group's meeting amounted to a blatant dismissal of concerns about anti-Semitism in the party because of its controversial views on other Jewish organisations. ...
