SCOTTISH Labour leader Anas Sarwar must give answers about suspicious “bot” activity on his social media during the Holyrood elections, the SNP have said after a shadowy Israeli firm was revealed to have attempted to meddle in the vote.

Last week, the French Government’s Viginum agency – which is tasked with protecting against foreign digital interference – published a report stating that an Israeli firm named BlackCore had targeted the SNP and First Minister John Swinney during the Scottish Parliament elections.
