This tough on China' announcement is surprising. After all, over the last two years, the Treasury has pushed hard for an economic deal with China. This is despite China sanctioning myself and four UK parliamentarians.

After such a litany, I have one simple question: where have you been over the last two years?

Good to see remainer Truss on the side of human rights lawyers.
