Theresa May has appointed an anti-subversion minister as she makes the integrity of the next election a national security priority, Times reported.

Ben Gummer, a Cabinet Office minister, is leading “broad efforts within government to protect the integrity of UK democratic life” after concerns that Russian cyberattacks, fake news and money could destabilize democracy.

Earlier, British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson admitted that there is no evidence that Russia interfered with democratic processes in the West. However, he added, Russia has that ability to disrupt UK politics with hacking.
