COVID-19

During the daily UK Government Coronavirus livestream, Nick Carter stated that

“We’ve been involved with the Cabinet Office Rapid Response Unit, with our 77th Brigade helping to quash rumours from misinformation, but also to counter disinformation. Between three and four thousand of our people have been involved, with around twenty thousand available the whole time at high readiness.”
Nick Carter (20 April 2020)  [1]

"Fake News"

In December 2019, Carter stated that Russia was using information as a weapon to “to undermine cohesion, erode economic, political and social resilience, and challenge our strategic position in key regions of the world.”[2]
