#BREAKING @ipacglobal member @timloughton secures full @HouseofCommons debate on a motion proposing diplomatic boycott of @Beijing2022
Debate set for 15 July. Motion is votable.
Happy anniversary, CCP.

In its 99th year, the #CCP covered up a pandemic, causing untold death and suffering, continued atrocities against #Uyghurs, #Tibetans and other minorities, and exacted an all-out assault on human rights in #HongKong.
Nothing to celebrate. twitter.com/sophia_yan/sta…

Respect @DominicRaab but this is infuriating.
Where are:
❌"urgent" review of export controls, promised in January?
❌changes to the Modern Slavery Act?
❌mysterious import controls cited recently by PM?
The UK has done NOTHING to hold China or HKSAR to account for ⬇️ twitter.com/DominicRaab/st…

On the eve of the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party, I was heartened to receive this.

Dear @IndyVoices
This shocking piece of Xinjiang denialism by embarrassment @vincecable is illiterate of the law. Surprised it cleared your subeditors.
I’m not linking to it. The way this guy unrepentantly spits in the face of #Uyghur survivors makes me sick.

The 🇭🇰 🇨🇳Governments are shutting down @pritipatel’s BNO scheme. Just watch.
What will the @FCDOGovUK have to say? What will @DominicRaab do when the “lifeboat” policy is sunk?
Can we finally move to accountability and consequences? twitter.com/PoliticsForAlI…

We need URGENT action from @DominicRaab @BorisJohnson re: a COMPLETELY INNOCENT #HongKong newspaper editorial writer being arrested en route to the UK - probably hoping to participate in the BNO scheme. This makes a mockery of our treaty promises. #Enough twitter.com/alvinllum/stat…

Shockingly sad.
I’m the aftermath of #AppleDaily’s forced closure, the brilliant @StandNewsHK self censors in a bid for survival.

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”

#Breaking: ALL Lithuanian Parliament mail servers *and phones* were taken down today. We don’t know what caused it yet.
In unrelated news, this is what Chinese State run @globaltimesnews had to say about 🇱🇹 recently.

I have no words to express my embarrassment and shame at the sorry fact that the President of the United States has more to say about the UK’s treaty obligations than we do. #AppleDailyHK

Wrote this about @appledaily_hk today. Where is the UK?
“The truth is that we are allowing these outrages to happen, issuing handwringing statements expressing “deep concern”, which amount to nothing.” inews.co.uk/opinion/china-…
493
In a matter of days @appledaily_hk will be shut down. Not because it lacks have money. But because they are being prevented from paying their staff.
494
Moved by this photo - Jimmy Lai’s daughter visiting him today with a copy of @appledaily_hk proudly in her arms.
These days this is an extraordinary act of courage.

Erm….#Breaking?
Unless I am missing something the Prime Minister @BorisJohnson has just announced IMPORT controls on goods sourced from the #Uyghur region of China.
This was emphatically NOT UK policy…until about 10 minutes ago, apparently. 👇
