I highlighted how this letter is being used yesterday.

 The British governments standing on the issue is getting worse as more inconsistencies and doubts on its statements come to light. The international support for its claims is weakening http://www.moonofalabama.org/2018/03/no-patients-have-experienced-symptoms-of-nerve-agent-poisoning-in-salisbury.html

 Stig Abell Verified account @StigAbell Baldrick: I, too, have a cunning plan to catch the spy...You go round the hostipal and ask everyone, "Are you a German spy?" Edmund: Yes, I must say, Baldrick, I appreciate your involvement on the creative side. Baldrick: If it was me, I'd own up. Edmund: Of course you would. 

 Kevin Schofield@PolhomeEditor Jeremy Corbyn tells the BBC: "I asked the Russians be given a sample so that they can say categorically one way or the other." And if they say it's nothing to do with them, presumably that's case closed? https://twitter.com/StigAbell/status/976001706734637056

 peter j Bakulinskyj @charliefarley22 Lets not Forget the Poisoning of V,Yushenko-Crime? He won pro-Ukrainian election 2004 v Yanakovic-Kremlin "He ate bad Shusi"-Lugovoy and friends. Russia is the biggest threat to Peace.

 Shaun Walker @shaunwalker7 I don't suppose there is anyone left who would seriously compare RT and the BBC in good faith, but just in case there are any confused souls left, see below. 

 Anton Troianovski @antontroian On Telegram, RT editor Simonyan writes that Putin "used to simply be our president and he https://twitter.com/shaunwalker7/status/975727583013687297

 olexander scherba Verified account @olex_scherba Or maybe - just maybe! - nothing pleases this crowd more than the feeling of being feared again. olexander scherba added, 

 English Lugansk @loogunda "Pro-Russian Facebook groups share this image, kind of voluntary acknowledgement of guilt" https://twitter.com/i_army_org/status/975813699838599168 … #Novichock https://twitter.com/olex_scherba/status/975840243315339265

 Hans de Vreij @hdevreij Russian scientist Leonid Rink has confirmed work on #Novichok agents was done at the Shikhany chemical weapons base near Saratov. Says the Novichok-5 variant was weaponized.

 John McLellan @johnmclellan John McLellan Retweeted The Scotsman Correct decision, but Sputnik should not have been admitted in the first place then my motion wouldn't have been necessary.

 Alison Thewliss @alisonthewliss ICYMI: I was on @Sun_Pol_Scot yesterday talking about the urgent need for action by the UK Government on the laundering of dirty money from Russia through Scottish Limited Partnerships. Doing nothing lets Putin and his cronies off the hook. https://twitter.com/alisonthewliss/status/975803272018710528

 Stephen Kinnock @SKinnock Fascinating discussion with @Billbrowder earlier as he briefed Labour MPs on what’s required for a UK Magnitsky act to be worthy of the name https://twitter.com/SKinnock/status/975818791157424130

 Duncan Hames @duncanhames A very welcome exchange this, on the risks associated with the UK’s system of ‘Golden Visas’. Duncan Hames added,
