The retired intelligence chief, 77, referenced remarks by foreign policy expert Dr Fiona Hill - who said in June that Russia is at war with Britain.

Baroness Eliza said: “The various things I read the Russians have been doing here, sabotage, intelligence collection, attacking people, and so on... Fiona Hill may be right in saying we're already at war with Russia.

"It's a different sort of war but the hostility, the cyber-attacks, the physical attacks, intelligence work is extensive.”
