Interviewing Rafael Correa, president of Ecuador 2007-17, in Brussels for @declassifieduk.

If the security services have traditionally acted to thwart a ruling Labour government, then one would be forgiven for wondering why MI5 has seen real democracy in Britain as a threat - whose interests are they really defending?

The UK has supplied to Ukraine around 7,000 anti-tank NLAW weapons.
These are manufactured by Thales UK, whose advisory board is chaired by former Tory defence minister Lord Arbuthnot.
His wife was the judge who defied the UN and ruled to keep Julian Assange in jail in 2018.
