‘Sorry, no one is in’: few are at home for Margaret Hodge’s ‘kleptocracy walking tour’

Campaigning Labour MP knocks on the doors of wealthy London homes bought by sanctioned foreign leaders

Margaret Hodge, the veteran Labour MP and former minister, is on a mission to knock on the doors of multimillion-pound London properties.

The luxury homes she is calling on are linked to the Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, and the Azerbaijani president, Ilham Aliyev, in gated communities in Kensington, west London, and closely guarded by private security.
