‘Ban channel from airwaves’

A KREMLIN-BACKED television channel should be banned from broadcasting in the UK following the Salisbury nerve agent attack, the Commons has heard.

Theresa May faced repeated calls for her Government to take action against RT, formerly Russia Today, yesterday.

Speaking in the Commons, Labour former Minister Chris Bryant said: “Can we just stop Russia Today broadcasting its propaganda in this country?”

Labour MP Stephen Doughty (Cardiff South and Penarth) urged Mrs May to speak with the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport to review RT’s licence.
