Something to keep an eye on: with @RishiSunak emerging as 🇨🇳 preferred candidate, and @trussliz clearly out of favour for her more assertive stance, will we see influence and interference of the type claimed by @erinotoole in the Canadian election?

Amidst the #GenocideAmendment debate it’s wonderful to have something positive to say about the government. This is fantastic work from @pritipatel 🔥🔥 twitter.com/hongkongarc/st…

There it is.
So, which side are YOU on?
History will remember.

👏Board of Deputies of British Jews president pleads with MPs to vote for the #GenocideAmendment ahead of today’s vote, and points out flaws in @neill_bob amendment (which does nothing to help #Uyghurs)

Important piece. Wait until the true extent of Eddie’s China cronyism is exposed. Rumoured to have been Beijing’s man in Number Ten, I’m secretly hoping it all comes out. That way we might finally achieve a China re-set instead of the contradictory nonsense we’ve got now. twitter.com/AVMikhailova/s…

@trussliz Thank you, Foreign Secretary. Please tell us what accountability you will be seeking for these clear treaty breaches. We made promises to Hong Kong to uphold their autonomy and human rights. We haven't succeeded - and done nothing to hold the perpetrators to account.

Hearing from authoritative source that, after #JimmyLai's sentence was handed down, someone in the courtroom said:

👏Simply incredible leadership from the Jewish Community. World Jewish Relief commits to helping over 6000 #Uyghurs in Turkey.

🇬🇧 should convene an urgent Ministerial with international partners to reach agreement on how to help Ukrainian refugees.

❗️ @RishiSunak apparently rolling back his tough stance on China; hints that 🇬🇧 won’t label 🇨🇳 a threat. Report 👇 twitter.com/elenicourea/st…

Denying bail to a child for “offences” which are not crimes in any civilised society.
Uncompromising ideology. Unmitigated cruelty. #HongKong twitter.com/tomgrundy/stat…

Hope that @MFA_China ridiculous behaviour today will precipitate the UK’s long overdue sanction of #ChenQuanguo - the butcher of Xinjiang and Tibet.
Ludicrous that this hasn’t already happened.

Truly shocking abdication of responsibility from the Vatican here.
Secretary for International Affairs declines to comment on #HongKong because “we are still not convinced it would make any difference”

Credit where due - massive thank you to @homeoffice for granting four Uyghur/Kazakh survivors urgent visas to testify in London at the @uyghurtribunal and @MPIainDS @Nus_Ghani @RhonddaBryant @amcarmichaelMP @DamianGreen @SarahChampionMP @Wera_Hobhouse + others for their support. twitter.com/TribunalUyghur…

#NEW @WTA REFUSING to host events in China until #PengShuai case is resolved.
Have to hand it to them. While other sports associations pay lip service to human rights and gender quality, Steve Simon’s WTA is practising what it preaches. twitter.com/SafeguardDefen…

The 🇬🇧 current policy is that we can “cooperate with 🇨🇳 on matters on mutual concern” while “defending our values”.
This policy is wrong-headed and misreads Xi’s CCP completely.

#BREAKING: @trussliz and @neill_bob table motion to deny @HouseofCommons a vote on the #GenocideAmendment - insisting on their previous amendment which does not apply to China, and will do nothing for #Uyghurs

😡Shocking. @LOS_Fisher article on leaked Government advice re: #GenocideAmendment. Here's the real reason Government wanted to offer an alternative:

ALRIGHT TEAM: just to confuse you a bit more re: #GenocideAmendment @Nus_Ghani has now tabled an amendment to the Gov motion.
If the Speaker selects this amendment (unlikely) then we get a straight vote on the #GenocideAmendment.

To clarify: "them" is the HK establishment (politicians, media, courts, police) who are all colluding in this joke trial to turn Jimmy into some kind of evil boss. How stupid do they think people are?
