Boris Johnson snapped with 'Russian spy' as espionage farce continues

TORY Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson was accused of meeting with a foreign spy yesterday after a photo emerged of him posing with a Russian diplomat while mayor of London.

Last week, the Sun claimed Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had met a Czechoslovakian spy in the House of Commons in the 1980s, which he dismissed as a “ridiculous smear.”

Labour’s deputy leader Tom Watson said that story revealed “just how concerned some tax-dodging media barons are about a Labour government. This journalism is not worth the paper it’s printed on.”
