Downing Street has doubled down on its blame of the CPS for the China spy debacle. This could get even uglier…
Starmer’s spokesman was asked at the Lobby briefing of political journalists about a slew of recent reporting on Labour’s decision to abandon the evidence provision for the spy case. A full denial:
“It is entirely false. The CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) decision to drop the case was entirely a matter for the CPS. There was no role for any member of this Government, no minister, or special adviser, to take any decision in relation to this case. That is entirely for the CPS.”
After Hamish Falconer acquiesced and called China a threat this morning the spokesman said Labour has always been clear on the issue:
“The National Security Strategy published in June was clear that China has potentially huge consequences for lives of British citizens. There are, of course, major areas such as human rights and cyber security, where there are stark differences. Successive governments have said that China can’t be reduced to a single word.”
Don’t think anyone is buying that one…
Nothing on who was responsible for providing evidence to the CPS, which it says it was asking for. No assurance that Powell did not have any discussions in government either. This is about to blow up…
