Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch says that Sir Keir Starmer is "taking a begging bowl to China" because he has "run down the economy". The Tory leader also criticised the Prime Minister for "striking the wrong balance" in UK-China relations and for "only now" saying that China is a 'threat' to the UK's national security, after the collapse of the Parliamentary spying case and the government's approval of the new Chinese embassy building.
