British citizenship has been removed from Mark Bullen. The 45-year-old former police officer lost it due to national security concerns over his extensive ties to Russia. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced this landmark decision, confirming in an October letter that it was "conducive to the public good." Bullen is the first UK-born individual stripped for Kremlin links.
