Russia’s propaganda agency ‘Sputnik’ to close its Scotland office. Fantastic news to start the weekend with. I’m chalking this one up as a win

Tomorrow - Ukraine’s Independence Day - I’ll publish a letter I’ve coordinated, signed by fellow MPs and parliamentarians from

Today Ukrainians remember those killed during Maidan - the revolution of dignity for a prosperous and peaceful Ukraine - and mark 7 years since Russia’s military annexation of Crimea began. Solidarity with those in Ukraine who are still working for that better national future. pic.twitter.com/dmfepsPqgR

Holyrood often steps in when Westminster won’t. If the UK Government won’t implement the recommendations in the Russia Report, the Scottish Parliament should. A counter-disinformation strategy is a good place to start: Me in today’s @scotonsundayhttps://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/why-scottish-government-needs-launch-counter-disinformation-strategy-stewart-mcdonald-3117564 …Show this thread -
The head of RT calling for the full annexation of a region of Ukraine - an independent and sovereign country - that Russia has led a war in since 2014. This would lead to more violence and more bloodshed. Association with RT is wholly incompatible with our values. https://twitter.com/mjluxmoore/status/1354787089255165960 …

Global head of RT calls for Russia to annex the territory of an independent, sovereign state - a place where Russia's war has caused over 13,000 deaths & displaced hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian civilians. https://www.kyivpost.com/article/opinion/op-ed/alvydas-medalinskas-kremlin-tv-chief-calls-on-russia-to-annex-east-ukraine.html …

To stand up for democracy in Russia is to take on a cause that puts your life on the line. We must all stand with those who do this in spite of the threats - and that includes not appearing on RT, Sputnik or Putin’s other PR platforms. To do so is to be seen to side with him. https://twitter.com/n_roettgen/status/1301794485668544512 …

“At the time of that I was privy to some of the intelligence information and briefing. There is no doubt in my mind Russia was behind the poisoning. All right-minded people who value and want to stand up for decent values across the world should say that.” -

The world isn’t short of conflict zones right now, and the situation in Ukraine continues to deteriorate. I’ll be leading a short debate in the
@HouseofCommons tonight, asking the government to step up efforts to end Russia’s war on Ukraine, which has killed thousands since 2014. -
What utter garbage. Any reasonable look at party stances on the threat from Russia over recent years will show that the SNP has the most consistent, robust & mainstream view. Claims of 'division' based on what 2 people wrote on the internet is desperately ill-informed. https://twitter.com/magnusllewellin/status/1442725453102559232 …

Never forget how the Russian Government - the political wing of RT - treats its opponents who want a democratic Russia. https://on.ft.com/3sMb4TS

Indeed. It was put to me last year by a former FCO official that the SNP has been the most vocal of all political parties about Russia's actions. A cursory glance at Hansard and Google would back that up. https://twitter.com/rhyscrilley/status/1369391798133592069 …

Former Estonian President,
@IlvesToomas gives the most scorching assessment of the corruption of liberal western values I’ve read. To my mind, a UK government that wags the finger at Russia for the cameras whilst ignoring the Russia Report recommendations, is guilty of collusion. https://twitter.com/IlvesToomas/status/1445640800910512130 …
