Introducing… Baron Lebedev of Siberia in the Russian Federation

Evgeny Lebedev, the Russian media mogul who owns the Independent and Evening Standard, has formally taken his seat in the House of Lords.

Handed a peerage alongside the likes of Jo Johnson – the prime minister’s brother – and cricket/Twitter legend Sir Ian Botham, Lebedev has taken the following title: Baron Lebedev of Hampton in our London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and of Siberia in the Russian Federation.

The 40-year-old – a close friend of Boris Johnson – reportedly had to ask Vladimir Putin for permission to call himself ‘Baron of Siberia’ – a request which, evidently, was granted. He will sit as an independent cross-bencher.

Er… Enchanté My Lord… Giving his full title, the clerk referred to him as 'Baron Lebedev of Hampton in our London Borough of Richmond upon Thames & of Siberia in the Russian Federation'. Lord Lebedev will sit as an independent crossbencher https://t.co/jWF6Z5OsOF pic.twitter.com/ixao7Oiafu

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
