Downing Street has defended the appointment of a new spin chief after it emerged he advised Chinese tech giant Huawei.
Guto Harri was named Downing Street director of communications in a No 10 shake-up as Boris Johnson scrambles to regain control of his crisis-hit premiership.
The former journalist, who has previously worked as an adviser to Mr Johnson, resigned from Hawthorn Advisers to take on his new role in No 10.
