Keir Starmer has been accused of appeasing Beijing by waving through plans for a new Chinese ‘super-embassy’ in London which will include ‘spy dungeons’ in the heart of the City.
Planning documents for the controversial embassy on the site of the Royal Mint buildings include ‘two suites of anonymous unlabelled basement rooms and a tunnel’, with their exact purpose ‘redacted for security reasons’.
The plan for the embassy, close to the Tower of London, was blocked by the previous government after British intelligence agencies and Scotland Yard objected on the grounds that sensitive data cables that run nearby could be vulnerable to attack by Chinese spies.
