Christine Lee, the Chinese solicitor accused of spying on Westminster on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party, has lost her legal challenge against the Security Services at the Investigatory Powers Tribunal. Lee accused MI5 of “attacking” her reputation and trampling on her human rights by saying she engaged in “political interference activities” for a branch of the CCP. Lee was also well plugged into Westminster…
Her son worked as a bag-carrier for Labour’s “Beijing Barry” – Labour MP Barry Gardiner – who trousered a whopping £500,000 from Lee’s “generosity.” Back in 2022, Guido revealed another cosy connection: LibDem leader Sir Ed Davey. According to Ed’s own register of interests, his local party happily scooped up a £5,000 donation from Lee back in November 2013. Meanwhile both Lee and and her son Wilkes had previously congratulated Tory MP Alan Mak for his electoral victory in 2015 and the BCP referred to him as “our Chinese candidates”. Chinese solicitors clearly don’t play favourites when it comes to political parties…
Paula Barker, Liverpool Wavertree MP backing Andy Burnham, told Times Radio there wouldn’t be trouble from the markets under Burnham:
“The markets will have to fall in line.”
