Maybe the Russian regime wants people to know it was them, e.g. to send a message to other perceived traitors that they can't escape the Russian state and show Britain to be a weak country where this can happen on its own soil and it can do nothing about it.

40 years ago - it was beneficial not to have an Irish accent
Later, it was helpful to have a appearance which didn't suggest the Middle East
Now, Russians are in the alleged spy first division

"Brilliant! Looks like Jeremy’s managed to head off the anti- semitism debacle , at least until after conference.... Whoops! He’s moved on to advocating cooperation with the Russians on the novichok they poisoned our citizens with. Doooooh!!"
The two suspects going sight-seeing to Salisbury for under an hour and being put off by slush (Russians bothered by slush?)invisible on the CCTV cameras is also a bit funny.
