Defence Secretary Grant Shapps will make a 'planned statement' later on news of a data breach at the Ministry of Defence; Rachel Reeves takes aim at the government on the economy.
Iain Duncan Smith, the former Tory leader, has praised Sky News for reporting that China is understood to be behind a Ministry of Defence data leak.Asked if Britain's economic interests should trump national security, the MP says: 'No.'He notes he is one of several MPs sanctioned by Beijing for having 'raised the issue of the genuine genocide of the Uyghur people in Xinjiang', which the Chinese government has repeatedly denied.
Mr Duncan-Smith says China's critics in parliament have faced a 'battle' with ministers at times - before congratulating Sky News and our deputy political editor Sam Coates for breaking the story last night.'I congratulate Sam and Sky for getting this immediately and being able to say it was China, others have not done that,' he says.
