Foreign Affairs Committee: Disinformation diplomacy: How malign actors are seeking to undermine democracy: follow-up

Committee hears from witnesses

The Foreign Affairs Committee is conducting a follow-up inquiry into disinformation diplomacy—how hostile state and non-state actors use false information campaigns to destabilise democratic institutions and processes. This session gathers oral evidence from witnesses to examine evolving threats, vulnerabilities in UK institutions, and what countermeasures are needed.

This matters nationally because disinformation campaigns targeting democracy pose an asymmetric threat to electoral integrity, public trust, and institutional stability. The inquiry directly affects government policy on foreign interference, cyber resilience, and how the UK protects its democratic processes from hostile state actors like Russia and China.
