UK government fails to investigate Russian interference – key report – BBC News

A month later, the UK Parliament has been able to publish allegations of interaction with Russians in British public life. He blames the government and intelligence services for investigating the nature of the threat and how Russia can influence it in the UK, including the 2016 Brexit referendum. The report by the Commons Intelligence and Security Committee describes the UK’s influence in Russia as “new normal” and says subsequent governments have taken the rich oligarchs by surprise, without asking many questions about the source of wealth. However, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he was visiting the UK because China posed a greater threat to stability than Russia. Mr Pompeo congratulated Boris Johnson on the recent decision by the UK to stop using Huawei technology on the new 5G mobile network. Huw Edwards presented BBC News at Ten with political editor Laura Kuenssberg, security correspondent Gordon Corera, Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg and diplomatic correspondent James Robbins.
