U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s senior adviser Dominic Cummings is facing questions from Britain’s main opposition party after a whistleblower raised issues over ties fostered in Russia in the 1990s, Press Association reported.

The issues were raised by an “official-level” whistleblower to Labour officials, who are in turn posing “serious concerns,” the news agency said, citing a letter by Emily Thornberry, the main opposition’s foreign affairs spokeswoman. The concerns revolved around his ties with people involved in politics, intelligence and security in Russia, PA reported.
