Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 June 2026

Debate

Foreign Interference in UK Democratic Processes

Contribution

I think that we can all agree, not least after marking last week that the Ukraine war is longer than the First World War, that we are dealing with a bad-faith and outrageous actor with the Russian state, which has also been operating in the online space. Since October 2024, the Government have exposed and sanctioned 38 individuals and organisations responsible for delivering Russian information warfare. I appreciate, as will noble Lords, that there is still some way to go, but we are working every day to keep both our online and our offline spaces safe.
