The Prime Minister David Cameron and the Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond have argued for tougher sanctions to be taken against Russia following the shooting down of he Malaysian flight MH17 over Ukraine. The Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond is reported to have told the BBC that one option was to include "the so-called crony group around President Putin." |

Seems strange that Labour are concentrating on this rather than Cameron's double standard about arms sales to Russia. |

Not too sure why arms are sold & then surprised when they are used. |

I think that double standards is a common denominator in political parties of all persuasions and the sale of arms to unstable regimes is another common denominator - it is big money! |

It appears that 10 Downing Street consider the £160,000 bid that won the proposed tennis match is within the rules, they say that the successful bidder and her husband are now British Citizens and no longer close to Vladimir Putin. |

Boris Johnson has said today that the game of tennis with the wife of a former Russian minister is to go ahead after a personal assurance from David Cameron that her husband was not a “crony” of President Putin. |

Sorry, but if you sell arms, you sell arms. |
