Labour should “hang their heads in shame” over Chinese super-embassy approval

Responding to the news that the Prime Minister has approved plans for a Chinese super embassy to be built in London, Lib Dem London Spokesperson Luke Taylor said:

“The Prime Minister’s decision to approve plans for a Chinese super-embassy has threatened London’s security and endangered our Hong Konger communities, and shows that China's baseless persecution of Jimmy Lai will go unpunished.

“It is a dereliction of duty that Labour have failed to prioritise the safety of our city, our country and the thousands of Hong Kongers who have built their lives here. They should hang their heads in shame.

“The Liberal Democrats will keep standing up for our Hong Konger friends and ensure London remains a safe haven for them.”
