British MP calls on Twitter to release Russian 'troll factory' tweets

Damian Collins wants to see posts linked to British politics after Twitter gave list of suspended Russia-linked accounts to US intelligence committee

A senior British MP has called on Twitter to release examples of UK-related postings linked to a Russian "troll factory", citing concern at possible "interference by foreign actors in the democratic process of the United Kingdom".

Damian Collins, the chairman of the Commons culture, media and sport select committee, said he wanted to see examples of posts about British politics after Twitter handed a list of 2,752 accounts to the US intelligence committee, all of which it had suspended for being linked to Russia.
