The Guardian
|March 06, 2026
Three former Labour advisers, including the husband of an MP, have been released on bail after being arrested on suspicion of spying for China.
David Taylor, who is married to the Scottish Labour MP Joani Reid, is accused of assisting a foreign intelligence service.
Taylor, 39, and two other men, aged 43 and 68, were arrested by counter-terrorism officers at addresses in London and Wales on Wednesday. Police said yesterday they had been released on bail until May.
Taylor was a former special adviser to the Labour peer Peter Hain when he was the secretary of state for Wales, and has since been a lobbyist with a company called Earthcott.
He is widely connected within the Labour party and Earthcott is listed as a supporter of a Labour business group, SME4Labour.
