Keir Starmer is poised to give the go-ahead for China’s new mega-embassy near the Tower of London – the biggest diplomatic mission in Europe and a ‘nest of spies’ in the eyes of its opponents.

US President Donald Trump’s invitation of selected world leaders, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, to join a “Board of Peace” has sparked a predictable mix of deep concern and morbid humour.
