Conservative MP Priti Patel said on Sunday that China should be placed at the top of the list of countries that pose a threat to Britain’s national security. Patel is of Indian origin and is also the Shadow Foreign Secretary of Britain.
A shadow party member or minister who plays a role in any department of the government, but is not actually in power. This comment of Preeti Patel has come after the incident in which a Chinese spy tried to enter the Buckingham Palace. The spy tried to get into Buckingham Palace through Prince Andrew (King Charles’s younger brother). Patel accused British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his cabinet of prioritizing trade relations with China over national security.
