Labour is putting pressure on Boris Johnson to ramp up sanctions against Russian oligarchs associated with Vladimir Putin.
Stephen Kinnock, shadow minister for immigration, said that he was “mystified” about why the UK Government is not publishing the names of the Russian people that “we are sanctioning and getting on with the job”.

Boris Johnson told the House of Commons last week that the UK's measures were "the largest and most severe package
