Lord (David) Alton(@DavidAltonHL):Blackmail or bribe? Orca mixture of both? Are reports true that compensation of £1 billion for British Steel could be written off by the China company, Jingye, if Ministers give a green light to the new mega CCP embassy? Today the announcement was delayed again - until December 10. If it’s such a good idea why not put the CCP embassy to a free vote by MPs in @HouseofCommons ? And while they are at it, call Dominic Cummings to give evidence to a @UKParliament Select Committee about espionage & penetration of UK security not seen since Burgess and MacLean, the Cambridge Soviet spies. Transparency & Truth please. @CitySamuel
