This is staggering – the UK doesn't know if Russia interfered in the Brexit vote because it never sought to ask!
For years ministers have consistently batted off questions about whether Vladimir Putin's regime attempted to meddle in the EU referendum, saying that there was no evidence of "successful interference".
We now know why.
They had never specifically instructed MI5, MI6 and GCHQ - the intelligence and security agencies tasked with protecting the UK - with looking at precisely this issue.
It is a damning finding from a report by the powerful Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) that Boris Johnson ensured did not see the light of day until long after the last election in December.
It is hard not to disagree, especially as it is not as though there were no warning bells for the previous Theresa May and David Cameron governments.
