It also claimed that British spies had been acting as double agents and 'briefing both ways' against both Moscow and the US.

The news came as a senior Tory MP has warned relations between the UK and Russia are the 'worst they could get in peace time'.

Crispin Blunt, who is conducting an inquiry into Russia, made the claim following revelations of the  'dirty' Donald Trump dossier.

The unsubstantiated document -who contains sordid allegations about the President-elect - is reported to have been written by former British MI6 operative Christopher Steele.

Mr Blunt, an ex-army officer and foreign affairs select committee chair, said: "For a peace time political relationship, it is about as bad as it could get.

"The mutually official shouting match between UK and Russia isn’t helping either country or wider international relations."

When approached for a comment by , a spokesman for the Russian embassy said: 'We have obvious questions.

'We don't raise them with HM Government given the frozen state of our official relationship. The tweet reflects the mood in Russia and speaks for itself.'

Lord Robertson of Port Ellen, a former Nato secretary general, also warned Britain could be 'sleepwalking to a potential calamity'.

He told the House of Lords: "We must be aware of and act on the dangers inherent in the present confrontation between Russia and the West.

"Without the trip wires and warning arrangements of the cold war we are in grave danger of making a mistake or a miscalculation with potentially catastrophic results.

"We have a crisis of optimism - hoping for the best and failing to prepare for the worst."

Steele is now thought to be in hiding because he fears Russian reprisals over the Trump memos.

It's reported he packed his bags and fled his £1.5million mansion in fear yesterday, telling his neighbour: 'Look after my cat.'
