>but the individual concerned is not being expelled or prosecuted.
I’d be interested in the logic there. Presumably lack of publicly usable evidence. But it is a bit odd that we can’t just expel people we know are spying for China.
I, for one, welcome our new Baroness of Twickenhan and Guangdong.
>!It’s a joke about Lebedev, Baron of Hampton and Siberia !<
…and?
Did this one just not pay their dues like the rest and now they have MI5 on them?

Haven’t Chinese learned yet that the correct way to influence the parliament and politicians is through party donations, backhanders, mates rates and promises of lucrative corporate jobs?
Laughed out loud at this story, Barry Gardiner catfished by a Chinese spy for fucks sake.
Is this not the deadest of dead cats?
The MP says he kept MI5 completely in the loop with it all and no accusation has been levelled at him. Isn’t it likely that it was useful for his pet spy to be known to MI5?
This stinks of someone trying to dig up a bad story for deflection… Especially since the conservatives are up to their nuts in compromat!
This bloke’s, (Geoff Wade) Twitter bio doesn’t lie. He was across this back in 2019!

The real crime they committed was not being Russian
Patel’s comments are a bit rich. Maybe they’ll make this woman Home Sec.
Trying to buy our government, the Russians beat you to it China.
Strangely, The Times told everyone 4 years ago.
