1 week ago The Guardian view on UK national security: a case of state failure | Editorial

This week’s partisan blame game is the wrong response to the collapse of the alleged Chinese spying case. The failure of governance runs deeperThe China spying row has revealed disturbing weaknesses in the processes of the UK state.

The whole process takes less than an hour, and includes (among other things) a mostly nude scan, various blood draws, a test for grip strength and, at the end, through some swift data-crunching, a GP consultation. Most patients (me included) leave with a relatively c...
