Kemi Badenoch has torn into Sir Keir Starmer’s China visit during a lively Commons session.

The Conservative Party leader joked his controversial trip to Beijing was a "dream come true" because the Prime Minister "was virtually a communist most of his life."

Sir Keir’s statement in the Commons was met by jeers as he talked about discussions with Xi Jinping about "cyber issues" and "climate and nature."

The Leader of the Opposition pointed out China’s troubling habit of snooping on UK affairs. She said: "Of course, Britain should engage with China.

"Even though the Chancellor wasn’t allowed to go, even though they are an authoritarian state who seek to undermine our interests, even though they spy on us, sometimes within the walls of this building. Even though they fund regimes around the world hostile to our country, they are a fact of life, a global power and an economic reality.

"What we are criticising is his supine and short-term approach. His approach is to give everything away in the hope people will be nice to him in return. Before the Prime Minister even got on the plane, he had already shown he would do anything to demonstrate his good relationship with China, but China uses every interaction to improve its own position.

"The Prime Minister looked like he enjoyed his trip, in fact it looked like a dream come true for somebody who was virtually a communist for most of his life."

Sir Keir insisted his trip was a necessary step to thawing relations with Beijing, pointing out that he became the first British Prime Minister to do so in eight years.

Announcements made during the trip included a 30-day visa-free access to China for British citizens and the lifting of sanctions against some UK Parliament members.

The Prime Minister conceded many will want to see more if relations are to become normalised.
