Tory’s jibe at Salmond show

THE Tory successor to Alex Salmond has said people “must be flexible about their career choices to get on” after the former SNP leader took a job with Russia Today.

The jibe from new Gordon MP Colin Clark also saw Cabinet minister David Gauke say it was “disappointing” Mr Salmond was now employed by “a purveyor of fake news”.

Mr Salmond has agreed to host a talk show on the Russian state-owned broadcaster known as RT.

Mr Gauke said: “We sometimes hear enough fake news within this chamber. But to see the former leader of the SNP find themselves employed by a purveyor of fake news is disappointing.”
