A candidate for Labour has been suspended by the party following reports that he shared material online which appeared to downplay Russia's role in the Salisbury poisonings.
The BBC reports Andy Brown, who is standing in Aberdeen North and Moray East, in April 2018 shared an article from Russian state media outlet RT which claimed the "toxin" used in the poisonings was "never produced in Russia, but was in service in the US, UK, and other Nato states".
