The Prime Minister will know that, since General Gerasimov updated the playbook of Russian active measures, intervention in democracy abroad has been one of the mainstays of Russian activity around the world.

Will she now update that national security strategy and, crucially, update the election law, so that our regulators have the power to keep our democracy safe?
