‘Britain under attack’
THE UK’s democracy is “under attack”, Security Minister Tom Tugendhat has warned.
It comes after Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle said MPs their mobile phones were a “potential goldmine for hostile states”.
He has written to MPs following reports that exPM Liz Truss’s personal phone was hacked while she was Foreign Secretary. The Kremlin is suspected of being behind it.
Mr Tugendhat is leading a Westminster taskforce to address threats to UK institutions. He said “our democracy is under attack” and that the Speaker “is right to warn all MPs”.
