Summary
Labour Party chair Anna Turley has given Nigel Farage a 24-hour ultimatum to report his claim of a Russia-linked phone hack to UK security services, or Labour will do it themselves. Farage alleged in a Sunday newspaper that his phone was hacked by "foreign state actors," but has faced skepticism over the claim. A Reform UK spokesperson stated the incident was reported to "relevant authorities" without specifying which ones. Turley argues that a suspected hack of a senior politician by a hostile state must be properly investigated in the public and national interest.
