It has been claimed Ms Truss' phone was hacked by Russian agents while she was foreign secretary to obtain details of talks with international allies about Ukraine. Discussing the issue on Sky News this morning amid concerns that Ms Truss may have been using a personal phone at the time of the breach, environment minister Mark Spencer claimed she had 'clearly' been hacked before making the comment. He told Sky News: "The former prime minister clearly was hacked. So, that is the first thing you do, say 'oh my goodness, I've been hacked, help', and the security services will help you with that challenge. "Now, of course, you don't always know, which is why you've got to be super careful." Put to him that the concern was she had perhaps been speaking on a personal phone at the time of the breach, he said: "We all talk on personal phones, don't we, you know? I ring my wife, maybe there's some little man in China listening to the conversations between me and my wife. "But, you know, you've just got to be careful about what information you use on which phone and you get a lot of help and support from the security services on that."){kind=link}
