Dearlove Is Shocked. He Should Be. But He Is Looking At The Wrong People. Sir Richard Dearlove, the former head of MI6, said yesterday he was shocked to learn that a senior Foreign Office civil servant had discussed Britain's nuclear deterrent in closed-door meetings with an organisation he describes as a front for China's main foreign spy agency. He called for parliamentary scrutiny of Stephen Lillie's meetings with the Grandview Institution during a four-day trip to Beijing last October. Dearlove is right to be shocked. He is looking at the wrong level. Lillie's meeting did not happen in isolation. It happened during what the Telegraph describes as a flurry of trips to Beijing by top British officials amid Starmer's deliberate thawing of relations with China. Sir Olly Robbins, subsequently sacked, lunched with Grandview experts the week before Lillie's visit. Jonathan Powell, now the Prime Minister's National Security Adviser, met Grandview before his appointment. Since becoming National Security Adviser in December 2024, Powell has met Wang Yi, the Politburo member directing Chinese foreign affairs, four times. His vetting arrangements have never been publicly confirmed. Every parliamentary question about those arrangements has been blocked. A civil servant discussing nuclear deterrent protocols with a Chinese spy agency front is alarming. The Prime Minister's National Security Adviser maintaining undisclosed relationships with PLA-connected officials through his private consultancy, while his vetting status remains secret, demands scrutiny of an entirely different order. The government's defence of Lillie's meetings is that no sensitive information was discussed. That formulation covers every difficult question this government has faced on China. The spy trial that collapsed because the government refused to name China as a national security threat in court. The super embassy approved despite a concealed underground chamber positioned within a metre of the cables carrying the City of London's financial data. The Mandelson appointment despite a due diligence report flagging China and Russia concerns. The same language. The same outcome. Dearlove warned yesterday that Chinese intelligence operates on an industrial scale, approaches every engagement with aggressive intentions, and exploits any relationship it can access. He said British officials should have been briefed in detail about the threat before attending these meetings. He said he has serious concerns about the national security adviser's previous contacts with China. Those concerns are warranted. The question Dearlove has raised about Lillie is a question about process and judgment. The question Powell's undisclosed vetting raises, alongside the spy trial collapse, the super embassy, the Indo-Pacific withdrawal, and Chinese components being embedded throughout Britain's energy grid against explicit American intelligence warnings, goes considerably further. A pattern of decisions this consistent, each retreating from Britain's interests and advancing Beijing's, each defended with the language of pragmatism and engagement, does not emerge from poor judgment alone. Poor judgment produces occasional errors. Sequential decisions, each pointing in the same direction, over two years, by a Prime Minister warned repeatedly who proceeded regardless, produces a different and more troubling question. Dearlove wants the ISC to scrutinise Lillie's paperwork. The ISC is already reviewing thousands of pages on Mandelson. Parliament has been blocked from scrutinising Powell. Scrutinise the civil servant by all means. Then ask who sent him, who knew, and why the pattern of engagement with an organisation accused of fronting for Chinese intelligence runs from the bottom of the Foreign Office all the way to the office of the Prime Minister's National Security Adviser. Sir Richard "has serious concerns about the national security adviser's previous contacts with China."

🚨ROTTWEILER PUNCHED, CHOKED AND STARVED BY OWNER BEFORE HAVING TO BE PUT DOWN A Hertfordshire man who punched his pet rottweiler in the ribs, dragged him by the neck and wrapped a chain lead around his throat has been banned from keeping animals for five years. Malik Zoubiri, 31, of Ludwick Way in Welwyn Garden City, admitted two animal welfare offences following an RSPCA investigation sparked by video footage of the abuse. Barkingside Magistrates’ Court heard the dog, named Dyson, was repeatedly subjected to violence inside the property, with footage showing the frightened rottweiler pinned to the ground and punched three times in the ribs with a closed fist as he tried to escape. The court also heard Zoubiri later lifted Dyson by a rear leg and lead before dragging him by the collar with a chain wrapped twice around his neck. A veterinary expert who reviewed the footage said Dyson showed clear signs of escalating fear throughout the incident. “He has a hunched posture and is trying to move away from the man,” the vet told the court. “He is not willing to follow him inside the building.” The expert concluded the footage showed “physical and psychological suffering” being deliberately inflicted. RSPCA officers accompanied by police attended the address on 11 April 2025 and removed Dyson into police care. The court also heard further allegations of abuse, including claims the dog had been kicked and beaten, struck with thrown 20kg weights, submerged in water and lifted above Zoubiri’s head before being “smashed” onto furniture. Jurors were also told Dyson had allegedly been denied food and prevented from going outside to toilet for days at a time. Zoubiri was handed a 12-month community order with 15 rehabilitation activity days. He was also ordered to pay £500 in costs, fined £180 and made to pay a £114 victim surcharge. In mitigation, the court heard he suffered from mental health problems and believed Dyson himself was mentally unwell. Following the case, RSPCA Inspector Shahnaz Ahmad said animals “always deserve to be shown kindness and compassion” and said the prosecution should act as a warning that such behaviour would not be tolerated. Dyson was later euthanised due to severe behavioural issues and was deemed unsafe to rehome — an outcome animal welfare campaigners frequently warn can follow prolonged trauma, violence and fear-based handling.
