#HongKong you need to get back on Twitter.
It shapes reporting and influences politicians. We wouldn't have got the BN(O) policy without it.
Yes, it's not a perfect platform, but you have to work with the tools you've got.

Chinese Government Minister accuses @Nus_Ghani of lying.
Hoping her colleagues and our party will stand with her and publicly denounce this “diplomacy”. twitter.com/MahuiChina/sta…

The courage. The BBC report seems to have given others the confidence to speak out about rape and torture in the camps.

Urgent Question on Uyghurs starting now.
Watch here:

Do we think it likely that a government which describes mass internment, forced sterilisation, family separation, brainwashing, and rape as “human rights protection” will honour its promise to “move towards” ratifying forced labour treaties, @vonderleyen? twitter.com/ChinaMissionGv…
733
Why is the @StateDept expressing outrage about the systematic rape of #Uyghurs before our own Government? This was a @BBCNews story. And it should have run at the top of every bulletin.

⚠️The tireless @Nus_Ghani has secured an Urgent Question tomorrow on “the treatment of Uyghur women in Xinjiang’s detention camps”
How much more evidence do you need? Give #Uyghurs their day in court.

A sickening, horrifying report.
No more words. No more excuses. We have to act. #Uyghurs

BREAKING: #GenocideAmendment passes the @UKHouseofLords 359 to 188 - thumping majority of 171
On to the @HouseofCommons next Tuesday.
Thank you @DavidAltonHL Lords Forsyth, Cormack, Polak, Blencathra, Shinkwin, @HelenaKennedyQC @Andrew_Adonis and many others.

484 pages of fact free crap from Nury Virttachi about #HongKong stuffed with slander of good people.
On the bright side, I’ll never run out of toilet paper during lockdown.

👇 Two more of the heroes in this David and Goliath battle for the #GenocideAmendment against vested interests and the entire machinery of the Government.

#GenocideAmendment update. Thanks @MaajidNawaz for your constant support for this cause. #NoGenocideTrade 👇 twitter.com/LBC/status/135…

#BNO scheme opens today.
Welcome #HongKongers
I’m sorry you had to leave. The road ahead may be tough. And the scheme may not run totally smoothly at first. It’s a tough time for the UK and we are still preparing. Stick with it. You are welcome here.

CPTPP should let the U.K. and Taiwan accede together. Now THAT would be a statement. 🇹🇼🇬🇧 twitter.com/SebastianEPayn…

#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
744
IMPORTANT: @FCDOGovUK response to China’s announcement on BN(O).
In summary: “use another travel document to get out of #HK”
Ok. Progress. Thank you. But what about those who don’t have one? twitter.com/lukedepulford/…
745
Thanks. Could you kindly publish advice on the following:
⚠️Should those with a BN(O) visa/passport should hide it when leaving HK in light of announcement this am?
⚠️What should people do who have no other travel document but BN(O)?
A lot of anxiety today, so pls act. twitter.com/tamsinheathfcd…
746
Worth noting that there are people in Hong Kong with *no* passport except a BNO passport. #OpenAirPrison twitter.com/lukedepulford/…

Imagine my shock. Your move @DominicRaab twitter.com/hkfp/status/13…

#GenocideAmendment is back in the Commons on 9th Feb. Lords 2nd Feb.
@BorisJohnson is clear: the U.K. *will not* use the word “genocide” without a court ruling - but there’s no way of getting one at the moment.
Don’t deny #Uyghurs their day in court.
749
Here's my Q: do you think it's consistent to flaunt your anti-slavery ESG credentials while you have senior employees who are CCP members - a political party which is enslaving #Uyghurs? twitter.com/StuartKLau/sta…

5 days until the #HK BNO scheme.
I really hope there's an integration plan. Things could go badly wrong. Non-exhaustive:
1. Quarantine
2. Language
3. HK community divisions.
4. Stupid assumption all HKers are rich.
The e-gates will open, but what will be our welcome?
