White House issues warning to UK over China spy fiasco | LBC

Stephen Parkinson said the Crown Prosecution Service had tried “over many months” to get the evidence it needed to carry out the prosecution, but it had not been forthcoming from the Labour Government. The case against Christopher Cash, a former parliamentary researcher, and Christopher Berry was dropped on September 15, sparking criticism from Downing Street and MPs from both sides of the political aisle. The decision reportedly came after senior Whitehall officials met to discuss the trial, including national security adviser Jonathan Powell and the Foreign Office’s top civil servant Sir Oliver Robbins, according to the Sunday Times. The White House has warned that the collapse of the trial risks 'undermining the special relationship' between the UK and US. Lewis Goodall is joined by the last governor of Hong Kong Lord Patten to discuss the case further.
