Boris Johnson was accused of a “complete disregard for basic national security” today after he admitted meeting a former Russian spy without officials or his security team while Foreign Secretary.
The Prime Minister made the shock confession that he visited Alexander Lebedev, who was an officer in the First Chief Directorate of the Soviet Union′s KGB, at his son Evgeny’s luxury Italian holiday home three years ago during an appearance at the Commons Liaison Committee on Wednesday.
But it was overshadowed by the flood of ministers quitting his government - eventually toppling the PM.
