    Responding to the report, Sir Keir Starmer said the UK is “facing daily challenges on the home front”

    The prime minister told Sky News’ political editor Beth Rigby that Britain is being targeted by “very, very frequent and very, very serious” cyberattacks

    Energy security is also a concern following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while the PM also cited the threat of Iran.

    “We have to guard properly against those threats, and we will do so,” Starmer added.

    So security and cyber security.
    Not actual “war in the homeland”. Like, people shooting people kinda war.

      Plus you have to wonder who’s driving these attacks. I’m sure some of it is home-grown (indirectly at least) as power brokers use convoluted channels to achieve their own goals.

      Just look at Watergate, and that was child’s play amateur hour compared to things that we know about that have happened since then.
