I’m absolutely sick of people denying the #Uyghur genocide because of some barely considered stuff about ‘intent’.

I just voted for @ShaunBaileyUK - the only candidate to have a clear plan for tens of thousands of #HongKongers headed to London, and the only candidate repeatedly calling out London’s complicity in #Uyghur exploitation. Good luck, Shaun!

The supreme body of the UK State - Parliament - has expressed its view. We believe that the UK can no longer ignore ICJ jurisprudence - we have a clear duty to act without delay.

Thank you all those MPs who spoke so powerfully today. All those campaigning groups and individuals. All those who cared. We must now hold the UK Government to its legal duties.
