There was a great interview on the BBC this morning (Wednesday 7th) - it was with an ex-MI5 employee, who basically totally poo-poo'd the idea that Russia was behind the strange case of the apparently poisoned Russian spy and his daughter. She said that Russia has never done this to an ex-spy who had been convicted and imprisoned in Russia and then exchanged for Russian spies in other contries and allowed to relcate there and be unmolested for 8 years, and that they would have no interest in him if he was just living through his retirement, as he would have been thoroughly debriefed by MI5 when he came to the UK. She did say however that if he was working for the British intelligence Services in some capacity then he may have been targeted by someone in relation to that, and that they would have had a duty of care to him and that it seems strange that they were on the case so quickly so it might mean that they had him under surveillance. What she didn't say of course was that it could have been a false flag attack to make yet another clumsy attempt to blame Russia for something, or that he had maybe renewed his links with Russia in some way and was being targeted for that - or maybe he had been drinking Brewdog IPA Pink Lady Beer and being a red blooded Russian spy it was an allergic reaction to that - but we can only speculate about that of course.
