Iain Duncan Smith has said China’s offer to lift sanctions on him and other parliamentarians is a move to grease the wheels for the country’s London mega-embassy bid. Nine other predominantly Tory parliamentarians were sanctioned in 2021 for speaking out against the genocide in Xinjiang…
A Chinese embassy spokesman said yesterday in response to reports that some or all of those sanctions are set to be lifted that “China has always attached importance to developing relations with the UK. Currently, UK-China relations are showing a positive momentum.” Golden Keir-a…
Duncan Smith has now told Guido the move is “an offering from China” to Labour to grease the wheels for their proposed new embassy facility at Royal Mint Court. Blocked by the Tories thanks to grave warnings from domestic intelligence services…
The embassy proposals, which IDS calls “the latest in a long and ever-growing list of betrayals by Starmer,” are even opposed by the White House. Duncan Smith added lifting sanctions “won’t make a difference” to him personally – he said he will be surveilled and harassed by China anyway. No summer Beijing holiday in the books then…
Duncan Smith didn’t hold back on the broader picture of Starmer’s leadership either, telling Guido: “First Chagos, then his anti-Brexit reset, then Gibraltar, then the grooming gangs, and now the spy-ridden Chinese super embassy. First the lies, then the deceit, then the betrayal.” Punchy…
Iain Duncan Smith has spoken to Times Radio this evening about Trump and Labour:
“The elephant in the room is Keir Starmer leads a party that viscerally hates Donald Trump and that came out today in the radio broadcasts… Emily Thornberry doubled down on her comments about racist and sex pest or whatever she called him and the Foreign Secretary David Lammy referred to him as a Nazi… I think all of that is only the tip of the iceberg“
Faiza Shaheen did indeed split the left vote. Guido’s glad that his money was not wasted.
I just donated to @FaizaShaheen campaign fund to win Chingford and Woodford Green on July 4.

Through the gap goes IDS…
Iain Duncan Smith told the News Agents podcast: “They say it is Armageddon, but I Armageddon on with it here in this constituency.”
The day after Starmer U-turned and refused to blame Trump for the war Rachel Reeves told the Mirror:
“Obviously no sensible person is a supporter of the Iranian regime, but to start a conflict without being clear what the objectives are and not being clear about how you are going to get out of it, I do think that is a folly and it is one that is affecting families here in the UK but also families in the US and around the world.”
