No, I downvoted (and flagged) the comment because unsubstantiated conspiracy theories have no place on HN. The Russians? Seriously?? Haven’t we had enough of that with 3 years of Russiagate in the US? Haven’t Russian spies attempted to assassinate someone in the UK just recently? But no, obviously the UK PM is a Russian agent.

The parent poster is not claiming that "the UK PM is a Russian agent", please assume good faith. If the report contains something that makes Johnson or someone in his government look bad, holding it back makes him corrupt, not a Russian agent.

They’re claiming PM is siphoning off money to the Russians, implying common interest which is against the interest of the UK. “Russian agent” is the correct summary of that.

I didn't make any claims, I informed that the PM has a report into Russian influence and is refusing to release it. I didn't make any implications at all.

Not you, your parent commenter.
