Top members of Russia’s government see themselves as being “at war” with the UK, according to the former British spy who compiled the dossier on Donald Trump ahead of his election as US president.

Christopher Steele claimed “serious people” in Moscow regarded themselves as engaged in hostilities with Britain.

Another major topic of the interview was the dossier the former spy compiled on Mr Trump and potential links with Moscow ahead of the 2016 US presidential election.

“I'm sure they didn't like the fact that she was married to me, but I think it was more this fear that Trump and his acolytes would come after us and would claim all sorts of things that weren't true,” Mr Steele said?
