The work of MI5 may need to take place in secrecy but a failure in its operations is seen out in the open and it cannot be ignored.
The recent furore over Number 10 security isn’t about a short term loss of attention. It’s developed as a major issue for many years.
The staff at MI5 that have to deal with such high level matters clearly aren’t capable enough. This is a failure on their watch, in their remit.
MI5 has failed a vital test of security. It’s a bad one to fail at. It suggests there are other issues further down its line of command, as well.
