The Prime Minister also blasted the Kremlin for running 'corrosive narratives' about Britain in a direct challenge to Vladimir Putin. 'There is no national security without a strong, cohesive society,' he said. 'That’s the starting point for everything we hold dear and everything we want to achieve. But the fact is that it has been under attack. 'In recent years we have seen an industrial-scale assault by hostile actors on the information environment in the UK and many of our allies. 'Russian agencies have used every means at their disposal to spread lies and disinformation and prey on people’s fears. They’ve used bots and fake websites. Falsified newspaper articles. Forged the branding of 28 British organisations – including universities and the BBC. 'They’ve amplified far right narratives. And we have evidence that they tried to interfere with the 2019 General Election.' #andyburnham #nwyork #donaldtrump #russia #worldnews #gbnews Keep up to date with GB News at gbnews.com or on X @GBNEWS Become a Friend of GB News: gbnews.com/friend
