Theresa May has today been accused of showing 'very poor judgement' and risking the special relationship with the US by allowing Huawei to help build Britain's new 5G network.
The Prime Minister has defied security warnings from her own ministers, Donald Trump's White House and the CIA not to give the Chinese telecoms giant access because of its alleged links to President Xi's global spy network.
In a chorus of criticism at the decision, senior Tory backbencher Iain Duncan Smith said today: 'It puts special relationship under strain. I consider her [the PM's] judgement on this to be very poor. I would call a reconsideration of decision given nature of the risks it implies'.
