The UK’s GB “News” TV channel - Fox News without the audience - is sharing lies that Navalny wasn't poisoned, wasn’t even a political prisoner and that Russia treated him fairly.

I have a cartoon in the current Private Eye
Cartoon: two men, the one on the right looks taken aback. One on the left looks peeved and gesticulates towards the other. He is saying "I've conducted more orchestras than you can shake a stick at!"
