UK Government Officials Infected with Pegasus

Which UK politician are you referring to? The only one I’m aware of in high office currently who was born abroad is Boris Johnson, who was born in New York - a fact so far down the list of reasons for his unfitness for office that it does not really register.

The idea that this is the “main” problem in the UK is frankly laughable.

Well of course, GP said 'positions of power' rather than 'politician'.

Controversially, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evgeny_Lebedev has been ennobled and is now qualified to sit in the House of Lords, most definitely a position of power though he has not as yet chosen to appear there as far as I know. It turns out that Unelected Lords are also permitted to be ministers in the cabinet, so...

Lebedev definitely qualifies here.
