...in an SNP MPs emails? Get over yourself mate.

I love the way the BBC reports these events.

" On 13 January Mr McDonald was walking down the street when he received a notification on his phone.

There was a new message in the MP's private email account.

He glanced at it - it was from a member of his staff."

Tune in tomorrow
for the next thrilling instalment.

"If it is indeed a malicious state-backed group, then, in line with what I've seen elsewhere, I expect them to dump some of the information online.

"And I can expect them to manipulate and fake some of that content and I want to get out ahead of that to ensure any disinformation attack against me is discredited before it's even published,"

Yeah right, in other words whatever is in my emails I will deny sending.

LANKEELA, "Yeah he is right"

I agree with you.

Surely, if the Russian spy machine is interested in hacking a British MP's e-mail account, there are far more worthy targets than a minor Liberal?

Why not have a go at the PM, or any of the cabinet?

I wonder if this is a non-story and some mischievous teenagers are laughing in their bedrooms as I write?

More likely some scandal is likely to erupt and he is covering himself!

how do you know they haven't, andy?

How do you know more senior MPs haven't emailed him? Email accounts contain emails received as well as sent.

"The SNP's Stewart McDonald said the hack took place in January and he wanted to pre-empt any publication sharing them."

And there you have it, something juicy coming up - Has he done a Hancock only with his phone?

I'd be more inclined to go with AH's theory on the bored teenagers!
