Government admits that Institute of Statecraft was funded through CSSF
A SLUSH fund has been used to bankroll an anti-Russia charity that was engaged in an online smear campaign against Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, the government has confirmed.
Brighton Kemptown Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle asked the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in a parliamentary question earlier this week whether funding of the Institute for Statecraft (IfS) was through the government’s controversial and murky Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF).
Today, FCO minister Sir Alan Duncan replied: “The Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s support for the Integrity Initiative is CSSF funded.”
