Starmers latest China visit shows how treacherous this man is
Approved the spy embassy, ignored MI5 warnings, ignored data hacks, lying to the US and collapsing a spy case. Now he is in China selling us out again.
If there was any doubt the Starmer administration is out of its depth on the global stage, this week’s trip to Beijing confirmed it. As Starmer landed he looked uncomfortable and awkward, like a schoolboy being sent to the headmasters office. The optics were a national embarrassment. A uncomfortable watch, as he continues to make the once powerful and influential United Kingdom look like a joke.
The British delegation departed amid reports that they were forced to use burner phones and scrubbed laptops due to the extreme risk of Chinese state espionage. It is the ultimate irony. Our Prime Minister sitting across the table trying to ‘build bridges’ with a socialist regime so untrustworthy that his own security team won’t let the delegates use their own phones .
The great spy embassy betrayal
While Starmer tells us he is there to build bridges for Britain and great riches await us, the reality he is selling us out for nothing, again. You think it’s just coincidence that just after approving the massive new Chinese mega spy embassy in London, bringing huge risks to the capital and all of Europe, he then just so happens to jet off to Beijing? Its not. He capitulated to China the same way he did when he collapsed the spy case and as soon as he had passed teh spy embassy, he is then allowed to visit to talk trade, or rather sell us out for peanuts even more.
Remember this embassy debacle isn’t about any plot of land, the site sits directly over critical communication cables serving the London Stock Exchange and Canary Wharf. Despite years of sustained cyber hacks against UK infrastructure and repeated, frantic warnings from our own security services, Starmer is essentially handing the keys to our financial nerve centre and access to Europe to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The controversy just escalated when The Telegraph revealed unredacted plans for the site that shows:
208 secret rooms in a massive basement complex.
A hidden chamber located just one meter away from the sensitive communication and data cables.
Hot-air extraction systems near the cables, which experts suggest indicates the presence of heavy computing equipment used for electronic surveillance or data interception.
Starmer says his visit serves to protects our security, really? Honestly?
Starmer had the audacity to claim that ‘engaging with China is how we secure growth for British businesses, support good jobs at home and protect our national security.’
Protect our security? Is this a joke? He is simply gaslighting us. We have been under a sustained barrage of state sponsored hacks for years. To suggest that deepening our dependency on a hostile actor protects us isn’t just naive, it’s gaslighting. It’s lies. but don’t worry he has also secured visa free travel for those who can afford it, wow what a win.
Shadow National Security Minister Alicia Kearns hit the nail on the head during a recent interview with Times Radio. She rightly pointed out the total lack of backbone in Starmer’s negotiations. Kearns noted that she would have made the release of British citizen Jimmy Lai a non-negotiable precondition.
‘Why is it okay for China to set preconditions... but we go without having put any ourselves?’ Kearns asked. She highlighted the grim reality: while the UK asked for nothing, the CCP clearly demanded and received the sign-off on their new London spy hub in return for some scraps from their table.
‘I would have put a precondition that I was not going to go if I was prime minister, unless Jimmy Lai was coming home with me. I would also put a precondition in the six months leading up to the visit that I wanted a reduction in hostile acts against our country. But that’s not what we saw. And actually, in contrast, what we saw was clearly the Chinese Communist Party did put a precondition, which was that the new embassy in London had to be signed off. So why is it okay for China to set preconditions and to make very clear red lines about what they require for a visit, but we go without having put any ourselves?’ Alicia Kearns
Following the disaster of the Chagos islands, Donald Trump warned the government yet again that pandering to China’s will and doing business with them under these terms is ‘very dangerous’. While Starmer brushes these concerns off as being all about Canada, anyone with half a brain understands this is utter rubbish.
A bad deal for Britain, as always
Reports from Guido Fawkes reveal that Starmer’s much trumpeted breakthroughs in China are worth a pathetic 0.2% (£250 million over five years) of the value of the trade deals currently being negotiated with India, ironically another betrayal of British workers where Indian companies pay less tax than UK companies allowing them to undercut UK workers.
We are compromising our national security, betraying the United Kingdom and Europe for nothing. But wait, he has also secured these useless agreements too;
Visa free travel for UK citizens.
Investigating a possible trade in services agreement.
Co-operation on organised crime.
Strengthening the UK / China Joint Economic and Trade Commission.
Agreements to co-operate on standards.
Easing rules for exports to China.
And what exactly are we ‘growing’ here Mr Starmer? He talks about good jobs, but it’s just low paid low skilled selling us low value products, as demonstrated with the bizarre endorsement of Chinese toy firms accused of exploiting workers and operating under conditions that fly in the face of the employment standards Starmer claims to champion at home.
Starmer embarrassed us again on the global stage
Starmer went to Beijing to look like a statesman, he came back looking like a poorer Oliver Twist. He has traded our long term security and our moral standing for a negligible trade bump and spy embassy that will haunt our intelligence services for decades, and we know who will pay for it all, the British taxpayer. I remember you saying Country before Party Keir, what ever happened to that?
Britain deserves a leader who puts our security before the CCP. Instead, we have a Prime Minister who leaves his real phone at home but leaves the door to our digital infrastructure and nations security wide open.
