Andy Burnham promises two things: boldness in policy, and unity in Labour
So far, I write for this week's @TheEconomist, he has delivered neither
His initial policy agenda is timid and his ministerial appointments are brutal
I asked Ministers whether they are paying compensation to China following the welcome decision to keep the last of British steel making out of CCP hands and how they are responding to a Times report that China had offered debt relief to the UK in return for a green light go ahead their mega embassy in London. The Minister didn’t know but has promised to find out and write to me.
Ignoring security threats, Starmer caves to China on mega-embassy. Britain’s Labour government unwisely grants the Communist regime a prime location in London.https://t.co/cY1IxsH9ql
Starmer’s weak government continues to turn a blind eye to China’s targeting of the UK and the national security threat China’s autocratic regime poses to our country.
From spies at the heart of Whitehall, to foreign interference, to the repression and human rights violations against Jimmy Lai and BNOs, to the unacceptable Chinese super spy hub Labour is supporting, the Government has shown a total inability to stand up to China.
Starmer is putting Britain at risk and his pursuit of closer ties with Beijing is a clear threat to our security. If this data attack was carried out by Chinese hackers, he must act.

Good piece on 🇨🇳 mega-embassy from @CityAM which has been all over this.
I've been reliably informed that Beijing *would need to give permission* for the reported sensitive cabling to be dug-up and/or re-routed (at a cost of millions to the tax payer).

It’s being reported that Keir Starmer gave land to his parents through a 1990s trust, ensuring the asset would never face inheritance tax regardless of its value. So he hammers farmers for the very thing he tries to dodge himself.

The UK is now home to 85 SHARIA COURTS and 30 SHARIA COUNCILS.
Raise your hand 🙋♂️ if you think every one of these should be shut down.
There is only one law and that is BRITISH LAW.
The cover-up of the dodgy backroom deal between Morgan McSweeney and Keir Starmer to install him as Labour Leader goes deeper than anyone imagined.
