Like his besty Trump, he is an enemy of the UK and the western alliances. And again like Trump, he will do ANYTHING for money.
He severely damaged the UK with his Brexit propaganda (that was pushed by the right wing media outlets) that led to us leaving the EU.
Putin rejoiced when we left.

Michael Prescott's report makes vital points about the importance of being accurate, and also how difficult that is. For instance, he describes himself as having been Political Editor of the Sunday Times for 10 years, which is not what the Guardian reported when he left the job.
