Uyghur, Kazakh and Uzbek survivors of unimaginable CCP cruelty in @Europarl_EN today.
For them speaking isn’t just re-living their trauma, is it inviting brutal CCP reprisals for them and their families.

#GenocideAmendment latest: in their desperation to keep this out of the courts, the Government is hosting a (very rare) briefing for *all peers* on Monday. The only lawyer they could find to brief against us was Wolfson. They tried Lords Hope and Pannick who told them where to go

Good exchange. Kudos to Nandy for refusing to let the issue go - a true friend to #Uyghurs. @trussliz response very careful but reasonably encouraging. Think we could see decent movement on 🇨🇳with these two.

Thanks for having me @MaajidNawaz
After Thursday’s #Uyghur Genocide vote we need to:
1. Sanction Chen Quanguo
2. Form an alliance of democracies to address the China challenge
3. Audit and reduce our dependency on China

Catching up with @trussliz’s strong Mansion House speech.
Absolutely correct to identify the economic bottom-line as 🇨🇳 key vulnerability.
This rhetoric has to be brought to life. 🇬🇧 must be willing to reduce our dependency on 🇨🇳 together with international partners.

From @Nus_Ghani in support of the #NoGenocideTrade amendment.
The UK says genocide is a matter for judges not politicians. Fine. So let’s pass this amendment and allow them to rule on China’s atrocities.

Want an example of the risks of trusting China on trade? How about £150m of UK tax into the pockets of those enslaving Uyghurs?
