BORIS Johnson’s decision to ban Chinese tech giant Huawei from having access to the UK’s 5G network has been condemned as a security “car crash” that could be seen from outer space.

The decision to ban the company from the superfast mobile network means the introduction of 5G will be delayed for three years and could cost £2billion more than expected.
UK culture secretary Oliver Dowden announced no new Huawei 5G kit can be bought after December 31 this year – but that angered Tory MPs who have warned that Chinese tech is being used to spy on the UK.
