The head of MI5 has called for an overhaul of the UK's "outdated" espionage laws - warning the security services were "operating with one hand behind our backs."
Although Ken McCallum said it was "important not to frame this as Cold War II" he added: "We do need to stand up for our values, for our system, for the benefits of the democratic way of life that we, and our allies, hold dear."
In an interview with the Daily Mail, he said the UK's Official Secrets Act was outdated and meant "we are in effect operating with one hand behind our backs on state threats."
