Boris Johnson must ‘break open’ UK shell companies that are funding Putin, Starmer says

Boris Johnson has been urged to "break open" UK shell companies that are supporting Vladimir Putin, says Sir Keir Starmer.

The Labour leader added that his party would support the government "in full" if they were to take action now.
