Robust debate and criticism are part of this job - threats, abuse and violence are not.
We can defeat those who mean us harm, but we are strongest when we act together.
I would not hesitate to impose further measures on other countries refusing to co-operate.
In a more dangerous world, we are faced by threats from without and within that target our democracy and our way of life.
