Tailgaters on dual carriageways - what do you do?

What would you do in this situation on a dual carriageway?

I'm going 70 in the right lane (per GPS, not speedo). A car catches up to me and tailgates. I could potentially move left, but I'd have to immediately slow down (lorry going 60 ) and have to wait for an opportunity to move right again, vs staying 70 to eventually overtake and move left into a clearer lane.

If someone is going faster than me, should I move left even if I have to slow down to below the speed limit? Or should I hold my ground and move left when it makes sense to?
