China's mega-embassy plan tests Starmer's loyalties as Trump takes power

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : By contrast, China's super-embassy would give Beijing's official presence in the UK an enormous, prestigious location that Trump might have liked for the US.
45% : Kevin Hollinrake, the shadow housing secretary, quizzed Rayner in the House of Commons over the amount of political interference in the planning application.
39% : At the G20 summit in Brazil last month, he became the first Prime Minister in six years to meet with Xi, the country's premier, who spoke afterwards of "breaking new ground" on trade relations.
39% : And it probably won't send the message that Trump would want to see.
17% : Trump himself criticised the US embassy's move from Mayfair to Vauxhall in 2018, calling it "lousy" and a "bad deal" and refused to attend its opening ceremony.
