Sturgeon should order SNP MPs off Putin’s propaganda channel

Posted by Media Team | Updated 2020-03-05

Commenting on Kenny Macaskill MP appearing on the Alex Salmond Show this morning, Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:

“From white-washing Russian actions in Crimea to breaking broadcasting rules over the Salisbury poisoning incident, it’s clear that RT is nothing more than Putin’s propaganda channel.

“For a sitting SNP MP and a former First Minister to use it as a platform to pontificate is beyond the pale.

“Nicola Sturgeon should lay down the law and order her parliamentarians off RT.”

Offering New Hope for Health

The SNP cannot keep using the pandemic as an excuse for the issues the NHS is facing. 15 years of mismanagement have brought our health service to its knees. Patients and staff desperately need new hope and deserve better than ministers who seem determined to instead turn their attentions towards independence. New hope is exactly what the Scottish Liberal Democrats will offer at the elections this May.
