SIR Keir Starmer is facing tough questions over the collapsed China spy case after the UK’s terror law watchdog launched an investigation.

Jonathan Hall KC last night said Beijing was a “threat to national security” and confirmed he was investigating why the case against two alleged spies was dropped.

He said the Government’s account was confusing and insisted the public deserved “a much fuller explanation”.

The UK’s independent reviewer of terrorism and state threat laws told LBC: “What’s going on with the prosecution is something that I’m investigating.

“I know quite a lot about it now and I don’t think that the public explanation that’s been given so far is at all adequate.”

His comments pile fresh pressure on Sir Keir, who is already facing a growing backlash from former senior civil servants and Tory MPs over the collapse.

Parliamentary researcher Christopher Cash, 30, and teacher Christopher Berry, 33, were last month formally declared not guilty of spying.

The Crown Prosecution Service blamed ministers for failing to provide key evidence that China was a national security threat at the time of the alleged offences.

But Sir Keir blamed the Tories, saying his hands were tied as China had not been formally designated a threat under the last government.

The Tories accuse him of lying and putting “appeasing China for economic reasons above national security”.

Lord Sedwill, a Cabinet Secretary and National Security Adviser under the Tories, said he was “genuinely puzzled” by the Government’s explanation.

He told The Crisis Room podcast: “The truth is that, of course, China is a national security threat to the UK.

“Directly, through cyber, through spying and so on, and indirectly, because of some of their aggressive behaviour in the South China Sea and elsewhere, which potentially disrupts trade routes on which we are dependent.”

Lord Sedwill’s intervention came after Lord Simon Case — Sir Keir’s former top civil servant — also cast doubt on the PM’s defence, saying spy chiefs had for years warned of the danger from China.

At a press conference in India yesterday the PM insisted: “I can be absolutely clear, no ministers were involved in any of the decisions since this Government’s been in, in relation to the evidence on this issue.”

ENGLAND demolished Wales 3-0 in a friendly at Wembley… though the win did not stop Thomas Tuchel having a pop at supporters.

The Three Lions dominated their Home Nation rivals throughout to make it three wins in a row.

But Tuchel was unhappy with the “silent” atmosphere inside Wembley and demanded more from England fans.

It comes after Aston Villa pair Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins both scored in the opening 11 minutes.

Bukayo Saka then bent in a magnificent curling effort to make it three before the half-hour mark.

England face Latvia in a World Cup qualifier next Tuesday and Craig Bellamy‘s Wales are back in action on Monday night against Belgium.

• Kick off time: 7.45pm BST
• TV channel: ITV1

CELEBRITY Traitors went hard last night with Alan Carr bumping off “best friend” Paloma Faith in broad daylight.

He placed slow-acting “poison” on her face be­fore the unwitting singer had to carry a coffin to her own funeral.

There, the group had to guess from clues who had been murdered.

They finally identified Paloma, who had to climb into the casket to be lowered into a grave.

It echoed the fate of Diane Carson in last year’s civilian series — murdered by poisoned rose wine.

EPISODE VERDICT

By Rod McPhee

SHOULD Alan Carr ever join MI5 — and our nation faces a threat that can be neutralised only by his stealth and guile — then we’re all doomed.

After all, as a Traitor his sole task on the latest episode of The Celebrity Traitors was to touch someone’s face without drawing any attention to the fact.

Five minutes later he was foghorning about it in the bar with co-conspirator Cat Burns, sweating buckets while necking rose wine.

Then after completing his mission he pops out to the fireside packed with Faithfuls and mouths to third traitor Jonathan Ross: “All done.”

He might as well have illuminated the words in a 20ft-high neon sign and set off fireworks as he erected it on the roof of Ardross Castle.

“I might have to talk to him,” Rossy remarked ­afterwards, “about keeping it on the lowdown.”

Yet, NOBODY seemed to notice.

How? Perhaps they did and just thought: “Well, he couldn’t possibly be a Traitor who’s just killed one of us . . . could he?”

He’s either incredibly daft or this is some sort of genius double, triple, or quadruple bluff designed to bamboozle anyone who might suspect him of anything.

Perhaps Agent Alan isn’t quite the Carr crash we think he is.

I doubt he’ll get a hero-gram from Paloma Faith, however — the long-time pal he selected to be bumped off by touching her face.

“I feel awful,” he said, eyeing up the £100,000 jackpot. “It broke my heart!”

Imagine how bad he felt when he witnessed poor old Paloma not only attending her own funeral but carrying her coffin to the burial.

The producers of the show, which is basically a slow mass murder, seem to have taken their obsession with death to a whole new level.

However macabre, you have to admit, it’s also delicious, sadistic viewing.

Crucially, it’s also a brilliant antidote to show where the stars get hours of airtime to subject us to their fauxmances and life stories.

On The Celebrity Traitors they’re too busy killing each other.

It’s a man-versus-machine battle for the ages as the Sunrise host once again goes head to head with a race car.

Commuters are being warned to expect major delays on a Sydney motorway after a truck went up in flames.
