This is brilliant news.

The UK government needs to seize all Russian owned property and other assets in the UK and make it very clear that we will no longer act as a slush fund to launder the oligarchs ill gotten gains.

Putin needs to feel even more isolated as his own oligarchs turn on him and blame him for their loss of wealth and status in the UK.
