The Russia Report is due to be released later today – at the time of writing – and we don’t yet know what it will tell us, if anything, about alleged Russian interference in UK elections.
We do know that Boris Johnson went to great lengths to prevent the public seeing it before the last election, and that Arron Banks is still trying legal measures to get a look at it before publication.
John Le Carré‘s brain must be in overdrive.
Over on YouTube, The Citizens have enlisted the ironically inimitable Rory Bremner to help bring this sketch to life.
Journalist Carole Cadwalladr, who was instrumental in the investigation of Russian interference in the EU referendum, shared the clip on Twitter.
'Boris Johnson, your specialist subject is the intelligence & security committee's report into Russian interference. You have one minute & my voice speeds up now'
Superb from @rorybremner @lisemayer & @allthecitizens pic.twitter.com/re755V4qSp

These are just a few of the reactions we’ve seen.
This is superb
"what is the connection between Alexander Temerko, Vladimir Chernukhin, George Piskov, and Lev Mikheev, four Russian oligarchs with links to the Kremlin?"

On the eve of the release of the bloody #RussiaReport, it's worth giving this hilarious and terrifying video a watch. I tend to mostly have a gigantic sense of humour failure when it comes to politics, but this is absolutely brilliant. https://t.co/4wfwPktbjr

Finally, this relatable comment.
Who knew something could be funny and completely depressing at the same time?
