People have got used to living in a happy world - the UK faces threats we haven't had for decades'
But, speaking exclusively to the Mirror, intelligence expert Lieutenant-Colonel Crispin Black MBE says Mr Sunak's concerns could well be true - and that the threat could be all the more real as "people have got too used to living in a happy world".
He told the Mirror:"People have got too used to living in a happy world. Russia is once again able to pose an existential threat to Europe and the United Kingdom, something we haven’t had to deal with for nearly 40 years. Who’d have thought back in the 1970s and 80s that we would one day experience intense Cold War nostalgia? What seemed at the time a frightening period, the constant threat of nuclear war; huge Russian armoured formations, poised on the border between then East and West Germany with a good route to the Rhine.
