PRC narrative around #Uyghur atrocities has moved from "it's the lie of the century" to this sort of propaganda👇

Thanks to @Telegraph for an opportunity to say what I really think about the #IntegratedReview

Thread. The presence of UK judges in #HongKong legitimises this insanity. twitter.com/chungchingkwon…

Ludicrous. They will stop at nothing to ensure Jimmy dies in jail, manufacturing charges and imposing extreme sentences. The whole world sees it.
Why are foreign judges legitimising this travesty of justice by continuing to sit on Hong Kong’s courts? twitter.com/holmeschan_/st…

Ouch! @ReginaIplau the @spectator didn’t appreciate your hypocritical 🇬🇧 bashing. As ever, thanks to @MrSteerpike for saying it like it is. spectator.co.uk/article/hong-k…

People asking why @TribunalUyghur wasn’t reported.
It was. A lot. Non exhaustive 🧵
First, @carolinehawley superb @BBCNews report:

For those new to the play book - here are some recent victims all “doing fine”

Crucially important. 131% increase in imports from the #Uyghur Region.
We say we care about ending slavery. We say we care about #Uyghurs.
But our actions speak differently. twitter.com/fbermingham/st…

I think we'll be looking at mass abstentions tomorrow. The #GenocideAmendment passed the Lords with a 171 vote majority. The Government is preventing the @HouseofCommons from voting on it at all.

Update on #GenocideAmendment
👉Revised version back in House of Lords 2nd Feb publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/lbill…
👉Commons vote could be v soon after, tbc.
👉Expecting a Gov concession in the Commons to buy off our rebels. Our position: no court, no deal. Here’s why 👇

This is what happens when you legislate yourself into dependency on forced #Uyghur labour.
We don’t want #NetZero built on the back of slaves. Diversify supply AWAY from China NOW. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Greatest of respect for Penny, but, if memory serves, she hasn’t spoken in a single debate on Uyghurs, Taiwan, Hong Kong or Tibet - even when not a minister. Plenty of opportunity. Glad she’s come round but not really in a position to throw stones IMO. twitter.com/PennyMordaunt/…

FYI @DominicRaab @GregHands @mariacaulfield @nadams - we agree with👇 100% but, as you know, court route will be blocked by China’s veto. How then do we uphold our Genocide Convention obligations?
Inoperable and immoral policy which must now change.

#BREAKING House of Lords passes #BlencathraAmendment 177 to 135.
The amendment would stop medical equipment being imported from Xinjiang.
On to the House of Commons where a huge rebellion is brewing. ✊

It’s getting harder to keep the spotlight on 🇨🇳 atrocities in the #Uyghur region and #Tibet, and even harder to keep attention on #HongKong
We have to take every opportunity. So I’m looking forward to this event. 👇 twitter.com/GenevaSummit/s…
