* UK officials are considering the possibility that a Russian state cyber-attack was behind a leak of memos which saw the UK ambassador in Washington brand Donald Trump's administration "inept and incompetent."
* The leak of memos has caused a major diplomatic row between the UK and US, with Trump saying he would "no longer deal" with Darroch.
* The leak has prompted a major Foreign Office investigation, with senior Conservative members of parliament calling for a police inquiry to identify the source behind it.
* Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "They are going to follow all avenues of inquiry to try to understand how this happened. That's something that will be considered."
