Alex Salmond should stop being Vladimir Putin’s “useful idiot” and abandon his show on the Moscow-funded RT television channel, the Scottish Lib Dems have declared.
Alex Cole-Hamilton, the Scottish Lib Dem leader, called on Scottish politicians to boycott the Russian channel which broadcasts in the UK and for the former First Minister to close down his weekly show.
Cole-Hamilton spoke out after an MP in Salmond’s breakaway nationalist Alba Party accused the UK and US governments of “hyping the prospect of war” in Ukraine.
