What about the Russians? Ah ok, they sponsor brexit and your party.

crystal78243104 How about investigating the people in high places who are in collusion with the CCPee ? Without their approval, these investments wouldn't have taken place at all.

Probably because they do not offer enough in kick backs....

Sure! China can do what Russia can’t do, but UK still treat China as developing country...... and provide Chinese firms with good investment environment, it’s not reasonable.

Check the corporate bonds 😈

CCP is invading UK via the economy, instead of military as dictators in the past

When China invest more,they could be more powerful to dominate your economy

Tell ids to just fuk off..

I don't think Powell Wilson has yet figured out how to run post-Brexit Britain.

The man is just show horse for his buddies in the Heritage Foundation.

Whilst we at it lets have a complete & totally transparent review of the MP's recent pay award & their pensions incl. the reason for the outrageous amount & exactly where the money will be coming from at a time when most people are either on reduced pay or being made redundant.

How about UKPowerNetworks? Responsible for power distribution to most of the South of England - has been majority owned by Hong Kong (i.e. Chinese) firms since 2010 when IDS was a government minister....

With the way we keep on going into lockdowns who would want to invest in this country anyway.

Wow. Ex Tory leader desperate to get in the news. Empty.

He spends a hugely impressive amount of time retrospectively banging on about action that needs to be taken because of problems created by his party whilst in government. Makes you wonder who Boris was actually referring to with his Captain Hindsight jab.

Smart call, Mr smith. UK need to react before it’s too late

Get rid of the invasion

At the same time, the Chinese are also reviewing their investments in Britain. They seem to think we are becoming untrustworthy.

What about the Russians?

IBS still trying to sound relevant

MPIainDS has to be careful......people of his age are very susceptible to the Chinese virus thoughtsandprayers

He is so right! The chinese government can not be trusted!

IDS,doesn’t matter who he’s with he will always be the thickest person in the room.

...and Russian investment?

Well Covid may have come from China but by god they have managed it better than us or USA. By the way who are we going to trade with now we are out of EU don't want to trade with China and will be blocked from USA trade due to breaking law as regards Ireland?

Not enough in his pocket? 🤔🤷

Oh he’s popped up again has he? What about Russian money and the Tory government Iain? BoughtAndPaidFor corruption

Maybe more people would listen to him if he didn't 'hide' behind a phoney name. He was christened Ian Smith, where the Iain and Duncan affectations came from, is anybodies guess!

I call for a review on the Brexit vote!! Illegal funding and dodgy money !

I'd suggest Russian investment in the Conservative Party is the bigger issue.

Can we just have a review of IDS’s ability to govern?

But Russians are very welcomed

Go away Smythe . . .

鬧了半天英國還沒開始審查呢

The hypocrisy of the tory party continues.

Better to follow the Rubles.

I bet he didn't mention Russian oligarchs donating to the Tory Party.

Does anybody actually listen to this man

He made up a non existent degree on his CV in any other walk of life this lying shyster would kicked out of his job for lying about his qualifications.

They are about the only people investing... billions are going into London, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool and they are the only ones foolish enough to invest in building UK nuclear power stations.

About time, but all words. The UK is in too deep with the CCP. You can tell because the CCP released a deadly virus on us and we haven’t even talked about retaliation.

He should be doing this from prison. He's responsible for 130 000 deaths. The ghoulish little testicle pouch.

The lapdog yaps for Trump.

Tossed

Why didn't he call for a review of the abolishment of the British monarchy and historic reparation for genocides conducted by the British colonists in the former colonies?
