A former staffer to ex-Labour Deputy Leader Tom Watson has had his property searched by police in connection to an ongoing investigation into Chinese espionage. Police doing a lot in quick succession…
James Robinson was director of communications for Watson from 2015 to 2018, after which he founded a PR agency. He is also married to GB News presenter and former Labour MP Gloria de Piero. He said in a statement:
“I can confirm that police officers visited my home with a search warrant. I understand their attendance was part of their inquiries into those arrested and questioned over matters relating to China.
Naturally, I co-operated fully with the police and will, of course, continue to do so as long as their investigations into the possible wrongdoing of others continues. I would like to make it absolutely clear that I have neither been detained, arrested nor questioned in connection with this, or any other, matter.”
Labour MP Joani Reid resigned the whip last night after her husband was arrested on suspicion of spying for China. Collateral damage racking up…
Red Wall Labour backbencher Jonathan Brash told GB News that Starmer should resign:
“I’m completely fed up about it, and I think it’s got to the point now where I genuinely think that, as far as the Prime Minister is concerned, it’s not a case of if, it’s when.”
