TORY Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson was accused of meeting with a foreign spy yesterday after a photo emerged of him posing with a Russian diplomat while mayor of London.

Last week, the Sun claimed Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had met a Czechoslovakian spy in the House of Commons in the 1980s, which he dismissed as a “ridiculous smear.”

Labour’s deputy leader Tom Watson said that story revealed “just how concerned some tax-dodging media barons are about a Labour government. This journalism is not worth the paper it’s printed on.”

But now Mr Johnson has been revealed to have posed for a photo with Sergey Nalobin, who has been described as a known Russian spy.

Mr Nalobin had previously posted a photo of himself and Mr Johnson on Twitter with the caption: “Our good friend, Mayor of London Boris Johnson.” The post has since been deleted.

Much like Mr Corbyn, there’s nothing to suggest that by meeting a foreign diplomat Mr Johnson has been transformed into an intelligence source.
