The future of the UK is at 'greater risk now than at any point in my lifetime,' says David Lidington, former de facto deputy prime minister

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.The future of the UK is at "greater risk now than at any point in my lifetime," says David Lidington.

Several MPs have called for more action against Beijing after Johnson's government stood up to China over Hong Kong and decided to remove Chinese telecoms firm Huawei from the UK's 5g network."What I get impatient with are people who call for something to be done or a stronger line to be taken without actually saying what it is they propose," he said.

The UK government has sought to turn the tide by sending four Cabinet ministers to Scotland in the last two weeks, with Chancellor Rishi Sunak, the most popular UK minister in Scotland, according to YouGov, visiting on Friday. "I'm pleased that the government has come forward with more detail but if you listen to what Northern Irish business groups are saying, there needs to be a lot more done as they need time to prepare for all of this," he said.

On China, Lidington said that while the UK and its allies were right to stand up to Beijing over its actions in Hong Kong and suppression of Uighurs, the UK has to be "clear-sighted and hard-headed" and "find a way to maintain relationships" with President Xi Jinping.
