[leeshepherdtrading]

Rumour has it he was sharing critical information about the tea cups they were using. 🤷‍♂️

[helloworld]

I would never believe that the British have any secrets... ))) Lol

[Greenpoloboy]

If it had been Boris Johnson or someone like David Cameroon doing this, he'd of made a statement that he deeply regrets what he did and is determined to learn lessons from this. Then he'd be released.

[aletheiai]

Ah, but whose security was he guarding?

[iwatchseries]

Give him some Novichok tea for breakfast like the Russians do to their spies.
