Rifkind rubbishes claim that MI5 chiefs don't trust Patel

  • 4 years ago
Sir Malcolm Rifkind says allegations that MI5 were withholding intelligence from Home Secretary Priti Patel are "complete rubbish." The former chair of the Intelligence and Security Committee said: "The whole purpose of MI5 is to assist the home secretary in the implementation of counter-terrorism policies to protect the public, and you don't do that by withholding intelligence."
