Kemi Badenoch Slams China For Banning MP – After Backing Israel For Doing The Same

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch

Kemi Badenoch has criticised China for not allowing an MP into the country, just days after defending Israel’s right to stop anyone at their borders.

Liberal Democrat Wera Hobhouse was denied entry into Hong Kong while on an unofficial trip to visit family last week.

The MP has called for all ministerial visits to China to be cancelled until there is an explanation, while her party leader Ed Davey has urged the Foreign Office to summon the Chinese ambassador over the issue.
