POISONED Sergei Skripal and his daughter are to be given new identities and a new home in Britain.

The pair have told officials they are convinced Russian assassins are hellbent on “finishing the job” once they leave hospital.

Authorities are working to create a new life for the double agent away from Salisbury, where he and daughter Yulia were attacked.

She fears she will be looking over her shoulder whether she stays in the UK or returns to Russia.

A source said intelligence services were working to create new IDs.

Embassy meet call

RUSSIA demanded a showdown with Boris Johnson yesterday to thrash out differences over the Salisbury attack.

Its embassy in London said “interaction” with the Foreign Secretary had been “utterly unsatisfactory” and it was “high time” for a meeting.

The Foreign Office said Russia’s response had been unsatisfactory but it will consider the request.

Ex-spy Sergei Skripal and daughter Yulia are recovering after their poisoning in the Wiltshire city last month.

Cousin of Yulia Skripal tells BBC she is 100% certain the alleged conversation between pair aired on Russian TV is real
