Boris rudely runs out of Commons as Labour accuses him of misleading on Russia Abramovich sanctions

Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been accused of misleading MPs after he said Russian billionaire and Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich is “already facing sanctions”. The prime minister said out sanctions against five Russian banks and three wealthy Russian individuals in response to Vladimir Putin’s military incursion into Ukraine, but Mr Abramovich was not on the list. Challenged by Labour MP Margaret Hodge on why dozens of others had not be targeted, Mr Johnson appeared to suggest Mr Abramovich was subject to sanctions – sparking claims he had misled the House. Labour MP Chris Bryant said the prime minister’s claim was “untrue” and challenged him to quickly “correct the record” to clear up any confusion. But the Prime Minister rudely walked out of the Commons... #BorisJohnson #RomanAbramovich #Chelsea
