So
//All of which sparked an immediate, and obvious response: as Labour MP John Mann pointed out, ‘one of the easiest sanctions that could be imposed’ would be for Mr Cameron to hand back his donation from Mrs Chernukhin.//

//after registering to vote in the UK that Mrs Chernukhin //


So a voter cannot give money to a party of their choice?

Sounds like the usual left wing politics of envy to me.

It's true: I posted a reference to this a few weeks ago.
It was a prize at a Tory fund raising event at Hurlingham.

I'm now waiting for the smelly stuff to hit the fan over Centrica's deal with Gazprom.
Meanwhile the RT "News" channel faces a major enquiry by Ofcom into multiple allegations of breaches its licence to broadcast in the UK
And German newspapers now querying whether it is right to host the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
I can hear the flapping of wings as those chickens come home to roost.
And may take more than an SA-11 missile to shoot them down :-)

The Hurlingham thing perfectly legal of course, but it is rather worrying.
And I don't deny Labour has dodgy sources of funding also.
