Parliament is still sitting, and will be doing to for at least another week, if not longer. With-holding this report is preventing the House from holding the Government to account. This is, no doubt, what the Government intends.

So in reality its a waste of time publishing it.As apart from the outcry it does not help.

Whether it helps or not is impossible to say for as long as remains unpublished. Only when it is published could a determination be made as to its value.

Precisely. It's long been Putin's intention to destabilise NATO and the EU. He dealt with the first by setting his digital spooks to aid Trump, he dealt with the second by instructing them to aid Leave. The only question remains; Just how much knowledge did either of these groups have of their "assistance".

There is no need to have enough time to follow it up before it is published, never been a problem before. The time scale is a lie, officials have confirmed this. Johnson is just covering up something - almost certainly something which would embarrass him and his election chances. Maybe it's the same as Trump's "arrangements" with the Russians ??

Really? Every election there is a suppressed report regarding foreign interference in our democratic processes? I rather think not. The idea that this report be treated the same as other official materials withheld during the election period is risible nonsense.

> Its neither right or wrong, but practise as govt and Parlaiment are in effect on hold whilst electioneering goes on.

The report in question was cleared by the security services for publication, Number 10 received the report on October 17, and the protocols require that the PM give reasons for withholding publication within 10 days of receipt. This has not been done, and so the PM is clearly in breach of his duties, quite likely for party political reasons.

You seem to be (wilfully?) ignoring the fact that this particular report is no ordinary report. It has potential to undermine the existence of genuine democratic support for the single overriding policy upon which the forthcoming election will be fought.

Many people's continued justification for supporting, or even accepting, Brexit is that it's the "will-o-the-people". Surely if this report casts serious doubt on the validity of this people's will, the electorate should have a right to know about it before choosing a government intent on its implementation regardless of cost or damage?

Kevin , there have been embarrassing reports withheld in previous elections on things like the NHS.I have no doubt that BJ is withholding the report deliberately.

Its not as though nothing has changed on this subject since the last election. Witness Facebook taking down the taxpayers first post this morning due to rules on politcial funding being made clear.

And where does it actually lead us. Those remainers who fervently believe the vote was rigged will cry out. Those leavers who deny that intereference influenced their votes will ignore it.

The report should be published when action can be taken on it so the democratic rules can be fixed, otherwise it is a waste of time.

Or maybe the report should be published so that those engaging in a legitimate democratic process e.g. a general election (that is about far, far more than just which colour party is in power), can vote knowing that the rules aren't being gamed or fixed. Because a rigged election would be far worse than a waste of time.

One report is not going to make the issue go away, it will be an ongoing battlle for years and years.You only have to listen to GCHQ talk about it and what they are doing to understand this.

It's good to know that you can speak for the whole electorate. They're the ones who may well have been unfairly influenced in 2016. They're the ones who should have access to as much relevant information as possible now in 2019, so they can make up their own minds without Johnson, you or anyone else helping to keep important information secret until after the election.

You're saying there are and always will be difficulties around the area of outside influence in elections. Fair enough.

You're also saying there's little value in worrying about it or trying to inform the electorate as best as possible for them to make up their own minds. Couldn't be more wrong.

There does seem a strikingly head in the sand approach to recognising that Russian attempted or actual interference in elections or our political system is nothing new. I am amazed.

You do know that until about 15 years we had considerable expertise in analysing and studying what Russia was upto ( some outpost of the Foreigh office with Russian anlaysts and speakers)and then for the reason we now longer considered them a threat we closed it all down . Pity really. Could have been useful now.

This all seems to miss the point I am making.Interefence is not new, its ongoing. Holding back on one report is not a whitewash, it will still be there and there will be more of this and new techniques will be in place.

And yet you're happy that a report detailing just that is being suppressed. It's quite hard to keep up with your lines of argument sometimes. The fact that it may have been going on for years does not legitimise current efforts to withhold such information from the electorate.

So you don't think the report should be published because it would be a waste of time, because nothing could be done about it before an election (apart from informing people, obvs). And as the Russians have always meddled in our elections (citation needed) it doesn't matter anyway. But if ig doesn't matter anyway there wouldn't seem to be any bar to publishing the report. 

I think I've got that straight.

You seem to have massively missed the point in all your posts to defend the indefensible. It has been discussed and actioned by the relevant cross-party Select Committee. They commissioned the report something like 18 months ago and when the report came back, had six weeks to review it and (although I'm not sure on this point) and amend it before publication. It was then sent to No. 10 and the Prime Minister has 10 days to review and publish. If he/ she decides not to publish it has to be on the grounds of public security. These time frames are set out in select committee protocols.

In this case the report was sent to No. 10 more than 10 days ago and Boris has just sat on it without giving any reason. Dominic Grieve raised it as an issue as far as I am aware, not because the 10 day deadline was looming, but because that deadline had long gone and with parliament about to be dissolved, there would be no avenue open for it to be published until after the election.

Your comments about DG being yesterday's man nail your colours firmly to the mast. You would rather support the actions of a liar and obfuscator as PM than due parliamentary process. I'm pleased for you.

But the political climate on this has changed post Skripal. Abromovich has effectively been turfed out of the UK.( now in Israel).You may recall about a year or so ago his rights to have a UK visa were held back and under review.The law has been tightened considerably on the issue of " unexplained wealth".

The Uk's dalliance with wealthy Russians is over, not before time.

You seem to be missing out the single pertinent point of the whole story, which is that we have no real idea whether it's old news or something much more damaging, precisely because Johnson has actively impeded its publication. If it really amounted to nothing more than old news, why would he risk a political shitstorm by refusing to release it, if it's not that the political shitstorm would be worse if he did?

They'll just tough it out and we will have to suck up the vomit of people who have taken back control of society winning the election.

MEANWHILE we see the results of what has been done - my son in in his second year of A levels in a school that has been so degraded by budget cuts that they send out a begging letter for donations, had only One Physics teacher in the school, One chemistry teacher, and currently NONE of either type as both are off sick.  Unbelievable for A level and GCSE students in exam years.

What hope for his cohort does Boris' party give with what they have done?  The school was chosen by us because it was good a few years back and had an excellent local reputation.

We need to put a bazooka up the arse of the Self Servative Liars and consign them to history

You seem to be forgetting that there is an election about to happen that could change the course of the UK's standing in the world for decades if not forever. And it's a very long way from being anything like a foregone conclusion.

The kind of resigned inevitability you appear to be trying to promote is not only unhelpful to the cause you so often have claimed (unconvincingly) to espouse, it is actively promoting the continuance of the lie which is that there ever was, and still is, an authentic majority for a hugely damaging Leave outcome. The polls and common sense both indicate that there isn't.

If I didn't know better I would be thinking you were actually trying to encourage such a result. But since you've repeatedly reassured me otherwise, surely I'd be foolish to continue in such a misapprehension.
