Hardly the Profumo affair

Katia Zatuliveter, 26 year old Russian aide to Liberal Democrat MP Mike Hancock has denied being a spy, but says that she did have a four year affair with the MP for Portsmouth South. Not only are alleged romps with an obscure backbencherhardly the Profumo affair, but, as pointed out here, there are far easier ways to winkle secrets out of the British establishment:

And if she is a spy, then could someone please sit the current version of the KGB down with a cup of hot, sweet tea and give them a friendly talk about how it's much easier to infiltrate the Ministry of Defence just by being chums with whichever numpty has been put in charge of it.

Or by going through the bins once Oliver Letwin's had his morning constitutional.
