CHINESE spies are stalking senior politicians during the election, a former Tory leader has warned.
Sir Iain Duncan Smith said Beijing's goons dubbed "Wolf Warriors" target him around the world and are spying on his re-election campaign.
They send emails to other politicians pretending Sir Iain has changed his views on Beijing.
The Tory big beast believes he is targeted because he has accused China of committing genocide against the Muslim Uighur population in Xinjiang.
And on today's episode of our brand-new election show he warned that Beijing is already meddling in the General Election.

The MP for Chingford and Woodford Green said: “I and others have Wolf Warriors – low level operatives.
“Guys that imitate you and go all around the world saying you’ve changed your views.
“I get emails from various politicians around the world saying ‘I don’t understand why you have shifted your views back to being very much in favour of President Xi’. And I go back and say that’s not me that’s somebody else.”
Sir Iain is among seven British MPs who have been sanctioned by the Chinese government for speaking up for the Uighurs.
He added: “They are literally putting people into slave labour, sterilising the women and teaching the children to become Han Chinese not Uighur Muslims.”
Sir Iain said it was “almost certain” that China would mess with the General Election.
He added: “I take the view they follow us on where we go, they trail what we do, what we say. We have had interventions.
"One of my colleagues Tim Loughton was held at the airport in Djibouti because the Chinese pretty much run that country as far as I can make out and they just said don’t let him in.”

Sir Iain said he always assumes his phone is being listened to every day so puts it in a cupboard for sensitive conversations.
And he also issued a stark warning about the threats facing the United Kingdom.
“We are facing the biggest challenge since the end of the Cold War,” he said.
“We’ve got a new axis of totalitarian states - China, North Korea, Russia and Iran.
“They work very much in lockstep with Iran – the attacks in Gaza organised by Iran – were also hugely about taking pressure off Russia in Ukraine because America would have to switch its attention.
“We are right in the middle of a war and the trouble is we are losing that war and we don’t even know we are in it.”
