established to further drive forward work to protect the UK from the full range of

the UK’s intelligence community, the devolved administrations, local authorities,
the private sector, and civil society.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>It would not be appropriate

the Taskforce team have responded to, in part because doing so would give malign actors
insight into the scale of the UK’s capabilities to identify and tackle such threats
to our democratic processes.</p><p> </p>
