It's finger-pointing time in Westminster!
In October 2025, the UK's first major Chinese espionage trial collapsed in spectacular fashion when prosecutors offered no evidence against two men accused of spying for Beijing.
The reason? The government refused to call China a "threat" to national security—a legal requirement under the century-old Official Secrets Act.
In this episode, I look at the latest developments in the scandal, including the collision of economic and political interests, and the planned Chinese mega embassy in the heart of London that perhaps stands at the centre of it all.
