Russia Report | Labour letter demands govt to revoke RT UK’s license

An evidence-free parliamentary report accusing #RTUK of being an instrument of ‘Russian influence’ in #Britain is already being quoted as a pretext to ban the broadcaster, in a letter sent to Ofcom by a Labour shadow minister. Labour MP Jo Stevens demanded that “Ofcom urgently reviews RT’s #licence” and requested an urgent meeting with Dame Melanie Dawes of the regulatory agency to “discuss my concerns about the broadcaster,” in a letter sent Wednesday. Stevens – signed as the Shadow secretary of state for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport – said the review was needed given the “troubling revelations in the Russia report about the role of RT and Sputnik in spreading Kremlin-backed disinformation in the UK.”
