David Cameron has defended letting a Russian donor pay to play tennis with him, because they “didn’t talk about Putin”.
Ex-banker Lubov Chernukhin, a major donor to the Conservative Party, whose husband is President Putin’s former deputy finance minister, paid £160,000 for a match with the then-Prime Minister in 2014.
Boris Johnson, then Mayor of London, also took part in the game - an auction prize at the party’s Summer Ball.
