(REPORT) — The speaker of Britain’s House of Commons has responded to an ongoing scandal over Israel’s alleged influence in top-level UK politics, saying it is not currently a matter for him to investigate.
Al Jazeera is to be congratulated on an undercover investigation exposing something most of us could probably have guessed: that some Israeli embassy staff in the UK – let’s not pussy around, Mossad agents – are working with senior political activists and politicians in the Conservative and Labour parties to subvert their own parties from within, and skew British foreign policy so that it benefits Israeli, rather than British, interests.
