I mean it is objectively hilarious that the media and government are trying to hype the OBR leak as a cybersecurity thing

When any digital manager at a large institution could tell you in about ten minutes.

No10 spokesman not prepared to criticise anything about Farage speech today.

Not his description of "invasion", not his prediction that the UK on brink of civil war, not plans to pay the Taliban or Iran to take back migrants, or indeed to rule out doing so themselves.
