MI5 alert about alleged Chinese mole may have been to distract from Partygate, tribunal hears
Briefly

The Security Service issued an interference alert against Christine Lee, suspected of being a Chinese agent, right after Boris Johnson's Partygate scandal, leading to allegations of distraction tactics.
Former Labour MP Barry Gardiner implied the alert on Lee could be a distraction from Partygate, potentially impacting Johnson's political standing, raising concerns of security service involvement in political matters.
Lee's substantial donation to Gardiner, flagged as foreign-sourced, led to allegations of covert coordination with a CCP branch, prompting legal actions against the Security Service to defend human rights and challenge the alert's lawfulness.
