I passionately dislike the tories, and there’s a daily laundry list of corrupt / unkind things we can criticise them on. I don’t think this issue is specific to them though, I’d imagine Labour will have to deal with the same shit from hostile nation states once they’re (hopefully) back in power.
They’re going to target whoever is in control at any given point.
They often get promising candidates early in their career and that allows them to turn the screws when they rise through the ranks. It’s why Oxford and Cambridge was (still is?) a good hunting ground for the KGB. So I imagine they’ve got their hooks into people in Labour too.
Hence the question mark - I imagine the FSB/SVR still keep hooks in the water, as do many secret services (wouldn’t be surprised if the Yanks were doing it too).
Most of the big issues aren’t specific to the Tories, to be fair, they’re mostly a result of the way our world has been organised by the ruling elite to steal as much wealth as possible.
The Tories are definitely one of the worst parties that you can vote for, but a better world sadly isn’t on the ballot, all we get to vote for is whether or not we would like some extra bigotry and cruelty.
For a truly better world we need to take action outside of the ballot box, and I’m not talking about gluing ourselves to things or blocking a road. We need to work together to build a better world completely separate from all of the systems controlled by the state and the wealthy.

The KGB stopped existing nearly 32 years ago now along with the USSR so it would be a bit surprising if it was still looking to recruit at Oxbridge…
KGB still exists in Belarus.
