DEVELOPING: Badenoch Demands PM Answer China Spy Case Questions Amid Mounting Scandal

BREAKING NEWS Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch demands PM address unanswered questions about collapsed China spy case. Kemi Badenoch has written to the Prime Minister, calling for an explanation on the dropped charges against two men accused of spying for China. The case, which was dismissed in September, has sparked criticism from MPs and raised concerns over national security. The government's account of the situation has "changed repeatedly", according to Badenoch, who is seeking clarity on the evidence that led to the collapse of the trial. The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) had previously stated that evidence could not be obtained due to the government's reluctance to share information related to China as a national security threat. The case has been widely criticized, with Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson saying ministers were "disappointed" it did not proceed. Sir Keir Starmer had also expressed frustration over the trial's collapse, citing the need for more information on China's status as a national security threat. Badenoch's letter to the Prime Minister is the latest development in this ongoing scandal, which has raised questions about the government's handling of sensitive information and its relationship with China.
