sir iain duncan smith, a former conservative party leader and cabinet minister, has posted this on x, "yet another example of why the uk government must admit that china poses a systemic threat to the uk." he identified china plus russia, iran and north korea as part of and axis of totalitarianism which he says the uk government must tackle. i think a lot of conservative mps will agree with that. worth noting that the government's position on china has moved a long way in recent years. it is only a decade or so ago under the prime ministership of david cameron, now the foreign minister here, the uk was talking of a golden age of relations with china. that has moved a long way. the uk is now much more sceptical about cooperation with china but nevertheless still important economic ties. this case could throw that into some jeopardy. earlier we spoke to ciaran martin the former head of the uk's national cyber security centre. from the information currently available it is a significant incident probably at the lower end of serious. in terms of losing the data of military and government
