Shadow HomeSecretary Yvette Cooper said: “Thisis extremely serious. There areimmensely important national sec-urity issues raised by an attack likethis by a hostile state. There arealso serious security questionsaround why and how this informa-tion has been leaked right now.“It is essential that all of thesesecurity issues are investigated andaddressed at the very highest level.”Lib Dem Foreign Affairs spokes-person Layla Moran also called for aprobe and said: “If it turns out thisinformation was withheld from thepublic to protect Liz Truss’s leader-ship bid, it would be unforgivable.”A government spokesperson said:“We do not comment on individuals’security arrangements. The Govern-ment has robust systems to protectagainst cyber threats. “That includes regular securitybriefings for ministers and advice onprotecting personal data and miti-gating cyber threats.”Meanwhile, it was also claimedlast night that during her final daysin No10, Ms Truss became obsessedwith the weather in case Putindetonated a nuclear bomb overthe Black Sea — and caused aradioactive cloud to head for Britain.A source said: “Liz was obsessedwith the prevailing wind.”

We made the wrongchoice this summer about thepath we should take. Plans tocut taxes targeted on the rich-est were a holiday from reality.“A mini Budget that didn’texplain how spending planswould be paid for was anerror. To put it mildly. I under-stand why people are angry.”

Boris was toldimmediately and it was agreed withthe Cabinet Secretary that thereshould be a total news blackout. “It is not a great look for theintelligence services if the ForeignSecretary’s phone can be so easilyplundered for embarrassing personalmessages by agents presumed to beworking for Putin’s Russia.”The messages accessed are said toinclude secret discussions withforeign ministers about the war inUkraine, the Mail on Sunday said.
