Chinese mega embassy: 'I can't BEAR hypocrisy!' Michelle Dewberry in furious row with Chris Philp over China mega-embassy: 'You guys approved it!'
Dewberry confronts Philp over China mega embassy plans.
On 20 January 2026, Labour‑backed developers announced plans for a China state‑owned diplomatic compound at the Royal Mint Court in London, sparking public debate. Michelle Dewberry, a former MP now campaigning for Labour, launched a public attack on Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp during a televised debate. Dewberry accused Philp and the Home Office of hypocrisy, claiming they had approved the project without full transparency. Philp defended the decision, citing strategic importance and compliance with UK foreign policy. The controversy highlights tensions around foreign investment and national sovereignty, with Labour’s Greenlights amid scrutiny over procedural processes. Both politicians faced backlash from constituents and policy experts.
