Great to see my initial investigation into the London Post and Moscow Media Group in Press Gazette cited in this excellent investigation by that connects the figures behind the shadowy pink slime network to far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

What happens when local journalism isn't really local, and isn't really journalism either?
