UK accuses China of interfering in its democracy

Rishi Sunak has said he "will not accept" Chinese interference in the UK's democracy, after it emerged a parliamentary researcher was arrested amid accusations he spied for China.

In a statement to MPs, the PM said he told Chinese Premier Li Qiang at the recent G20 summit that any attempted spying "will never be tolerated".

The Met Police confirmed on Saturday that two men were arrested under the Official Secrets Act in March.

The researcher denies the allegations.
