Let’s hope that Starmer is hiding something.
US politicians fear they were compromised in Labour’s “deeply troubling” China spy leak and demanded answers from the Government.
In a letter to the British embassy, congressmen asked whether any sensitive information shared with MPs had been passed to the Chinese Communist Party.
The Republicans and Democrats warned that Britain set a “dangerous precedent” when charges were dropped against two alleged spies. They accuse Sir Keir Starmer’s Government of allowing Chinese aggression to “go unchecked”.
US politicians are “deeply troubled” by the government’s “seeming unwillingness” to seek justice for MPs who were supposedly spied on, the letter from the House of Representatives’ select committee on China said.
They urged the Government to confirm whether any information on House China committee members or their work was leaked in reports the alleged spies shared with Beijing.
“Given the Select Committee’s close cooperation with UK counterparts, including those in the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), was any information pertaining to the House Select Committee on China, including our work and/or current or previous Members, included in the numerous reports allegedly sold to the Chinese government?” the committee wrote.
