As a few have highlighted already, Delaney has absolutely no credibility whatsoever in this debate as long as he’s willing to accept payment of his salary from Alexander and Evgeny Lebedev - the former a Russian Oligarch and (former - allegedly) KGB agent, and the latter (his son) an Oligarch, donor to the Tory party and now life Peer - Baron of Hampton and Siberia (the latter part of his title which required special dispensation from Putin himself to be included in a UK peerage).
Oh - and from Sultan Muhammad Abuljadayel, who invested in the Independent on behalf of the Saudi Monarchy’s National Bank.
Why anyone should credit this fucking hypocrite with any position of moral superiority when it comes to the rights and wrongs of ‘dubious ownership’ is way beyond me.
The guy is completely compromised and cannot be considered in any way reliable given his paymasters.
He’s a fully paid up lackey for the Lebedev’s, weakly attempting to divert attention from the real story which is how our entire media in this country has been compromised by deeply questionable owners - like those who pay his salary - with clear agendas they attempt to legitimise to the uk public through their outlets.
How he’s got away with his routine for so long is an absolute mystery!
