As we say our last farewell to Her late Majesty #QueenElizabethII in her state funeral, and as many #HongKongers join us all in mourning, I have written this special message, from my heart and in my own hand.
🙏❤️

Hey, #HongKongers in 🇨🇦: I'm coming to see you next week, and to advocate for #HongKong.
Hope to see you in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto, as we launch #TheChinaNexus and further the work of @hk_watch across Canada.
Here's my little message - looking forward to seeing you :) 👇

A privilege to speak just now at the protest outside @10DowningStreet for #HongKongers and against the appalling violence by #CCP so-called “diplomats” in #Manchester a week ago
I returned from wedding of a dear friend and colleague in Devon and went directly to this protest 👇

Have you ever seen handling the Tear Gas, like as playing football?
HK front-lines worked as a team to put out tear gas grenades in different smart ways simultaneously.
One of them kicked & passed the TG to another mates for putting out TG by water.

It is a tragic sign of the deteriorating human rights situation in #HK that nearly 10,000 #HongKongers applied for Canada's Young Talent's Work Visa & a further 5,000 applied to study in Canada last year. scmp.com/news/hong-kong…

🇨🇦 19 parliamentarians in Canada have written to the Minister of Global Affairs and the Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, calling for the extension and expansion of the #OpenWorkPermit for #HongKongers. #CanadaLifeboat #HK

A deeply moving article about #HongKongers building new lives in UK.
I often think that while I can no longer go to #HongKong, Hong Kong has come to me.

Such an amazing privilege to be with #HongKongers last night singing #GloryToHongKong at @RoOT_film UK premiere.
So incredibly moving.

Do not go gentle into that good night
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

@benedictrogers
Tomorrow, across the UK, #HongKongers and friends of #HongKong will protest and march against the outrageous violence by #China's #CCP Consul-General and his thuggish diplomats in #Manchester last Sunday.
I'll be speaking at the protest outside @10DowningStreet
Join us.

Quoted in this. If @FCDOGovUK @GOVUK won’t protect their own citizens - even MPs - from Beijing’s constant harassment, safe bet they are they doing nothing to help #Uyghurs and #HongKongers who are suffering immeasurably worse.

We’re excited to announce a one day parliamentary workshop for #BNO #HongKongers interested in learning more about 🇬🇧 politics on Thurs 27 Oct & the soft launch of our cross-party parliamentary internship programme for January 2023.

With #HongKongers to protest the presence of HK Finance Secretary Christopher Hui.
You’re not welcome here. Go away. And while you’re at it, release the 2.2bn of BNO pensions you’re withholding.

It is vital that we do everything possible to help #HongKongers protect the Cantonese language, as #CCP tries to erode #HongKong identity within #HK and as more #HKers move into exile

#HongKong's new #CCP zombie, quisling, puppet goons and thugs
Who elected them?
Err, that's right, not #HongKongers. They were "selected" by Beijing, to obey #XiJinping's commands
A grim sight.

The #US stands with #HongKongers? Who on earth are they? Why not give these people Green Cards or citizenship right away? Look at #Afghanistan, #Iraq and #Syria. Whomever the US claims to "stand with" will end up in big troubles & instability.

Human rights activists from the #HongKongers , #Uyghurs , #Tibetan communities and allies will be organizing a #NoBeijing2022 rally.
@hk_watch Policy Advisor @jooeysiiu will be speaking at the rally, join us this Thursday!

Hong Kong Watch research shows that almost 2 million #HongKongers still do not have a viable route out of the city as they are ineligible for the lifeboat visas currently on offer from the UK, Canada and Australia.
