The Prime Minister said the inquiry’s report ‘is clear: moral responsibility lies with Putin’.

The inquiry into the 2018 Novichok poisoning of Dawn Sturgess shows the UK must “remain vigilant” to “reckless” Russian hostile activity on UK soil, Sir Keir Starmer has said.

The family of Ms Sturgess, meanwhile, said “there must be reflection and change” as they criticised the lack of recommendations in the public inquiry’s final report.

The 44-year-old’s death followed the attempted murder of former spy Sergei Skripal, his daughter Yulia and then-police officer Nick Bailey, who were poisoned in Salisbury in March of the same year.

The inquiry’s final report said Russian President Vladimir Putin was “astonishingly reckless” and bears “moral responsibility” for Ms Sturgess’s death.
