Parliament was hit by a major security alert today as spooks warned MPs that a Labour donor with links to a former minister was a Chinese spy.
Parliamentarians were told Christine Lee has been monitored by the security services for some time but has not been arrested and is not being expelled as it stands.
But a warning memo was sent to all MPs and peers in Westminster today by the Speaker's Parliamentary security team, with an attached alert saying she was 'knowingly engaged in political interference activities on behalf of the United Front Work Department of the Chinese Communist Party'. No politicians are suspected of any criminality.
