Ian Blackford has said that Russian oligarchs “weren’t stopped, they were encouraged” when giving “golden handshakes” in Britain.

The PM denied raising money from oligarchs, but instead from people on the electoral register. And he criticised former SNP leader Alex Salmond, a leading presenter on the Russia Today TV channel.
