Very strange arguments here from @DominicRaab on #GenocideAmendment
1. Amend. DOES NOT provide for a criminal process, but a “preliminary determination”.
2. Two former Supreme Court judges said High Court was correct authority when drafting.
3. He wants judges to investigate?? twitter.com/BBCPolitics/st…

You can still see the word дети (children in Russian) faintly outside the front of Mariupol theatre.
Don’t look away.

Deleted previous tweet as not sufficiently clear.
It is FAKE NEWS to say that those double jabbed with #Pfizer in 🇭🇰won’t be recognised in the U.K.
The problem is certification, not the vaccine. Will hopefully soon be solved. 👇 twitter.com/tamsinheathfcd…

Anything to say @UKinHongKong @ukinchina @FCDOGovUK?
While #HK burns the best you can produce is some supine, staggeringly naive nonsense about how China is some kind of climate change saviour?
Your silence is a national humiliation. twitter.com/XinqiSu/status…

👀 unbelievable.
This is worse than “nobody cares about Uyghurs” IMO.
It’s denialism for profit. twitter.com/robindbrant/st…

It’s one thing not to know, and it’s another to refuse to act.
Please tweet them at this handle @KingsCollegeLon and let them know that her honour is a daily insult to Hong Kong people, many of whom are suffering.

For the uninitiated, the UK’s policy for decades has been that we WILL NOT use the word “Genocide” and WILL NOT act under the Genocide Convention unless the courts determine it.
But this is not possible through the UN because of China’s veto.
Amendment offers a way through.

So-called spokesperson for so-called PRC Taiwan Affairs Office denounces so-called IPAC Indo-Pacific forum of so-called legislator “elements” while making out that so-called DPP engineered the so-called group (it didn’t) reported in so-called Xinhua.
🇹🇼Stand with Taiwan🇹🇼

This amendment meets all Government’s red lines while giving the UK a mechanism for authoritative genocide determination. Time to breathe some life into the Genocide Convention and stand with the #Uyghur people.

🚨Positive development.
Would like to know whether the people assaulting #HongKong and #Uyghur rights have property in London.

We are already FAR too dependent on 🇨🇳 for critical goods.
Instead of recognising this, @GOVUK has scrapped it’s only project on dependency.
Enough’s enough. We need Baroness Stroud’s #Resiliency amendment to the #Procurement Bill to pass.

Charles Parton OBE (one of Britain’s sanest voices on China) clearly labelling China’s treatment of #Uyghurs as “genocide” at @LordsIRCom meeting today. This is becoming the consensus view.
Do we really want a trade deal with a genocidal state?

China abstains on motion affirming Ukraine’s territorial integrity. Appalling.
