Everything Parker tells them could have been guessed at without the interview:
– the Russians under Vladimir Putin are an evil empire;
– Islamic jihadists are everywhere but MI5 is brilliant at foiling their terror attacks;
– the increased budget MI5 has received is entirely justified because it is doing such a brilliant job of foiling terror attacks;
– MI5’s extra powers to surveil us all are necessary to foil those terror attacks;
– whatever happens with Brexit, MI5 will continue doing a brilliant job protecting the British people;
– MI5 is determined to become a friendlier place for women and minority ethnic applicants.
