A British Labour Party parliament member has temporarily stepped aside from duties after their partner was arrested as part of a spying investigation for China, according to reports from Sky News cited by Swedish media outlets. London Police announced that three people were arrested on Wednesday in England and Wales on suspicion of espionage. The three individuals, described as political advisors, include one who is married to the parliament member.
The MP stated they were not involved in their partner's business activities and had not noticed any suspicious behavior. All three arrested individuals have been released on bail.
I was not involved in their partner's business activities and had not noticed any suspicious behavior.
I would step aside until 'internal investigations are completed.'
