Dominic Cummings accused the #British government of prioritizing "Chinese money" over national security for decades, arguing that this’s the core issue.

"Anyone who receives intelligence reports on #China knows that the word 'threat' isn’t nearly enough to describe the problem."

I think there’s something the Government ought to be aware of: it’s this Parliament & MPs here who have been spied on; & it’s MPs’ offices that have been infiltrated.
