The Rest Is Politics - 479. Russian Influence in Britain: How Exposed Are We?

Episode Date: December 17, 2025

Why are Britain’s top military and intelligence chiefs sounding the alarm about Putin’s influence and future plans? How deeply has Russia already penetrated British politics, media, and public debate – and why did it take so long for us to act? If Europe is serious about sustaining Ukraine, why is it still struggling to unlock Russia’s frozen assets?
