Tories dust off patriotism play book to fend off election wipe out

Credit where it is due to Theresa May. Her latest tough stance towards the Russia allegations may be rash, it may have resurfaced Cold War tensions and it may not be in the national interest, but it has done no damage to her approval ratings.
