FAQ
- Meeting was strikingly informal. Organised by text at a few hours notice with the PM himself. Sadly not everyone could make it.
- PM very open and supportive of everybody - not just politicians, but sanctioned entities. Was particularly encouraging about the @CPHumanRights

The 🇬🇧 current policy is that we can “cooperate with 🇨🇳 on matters on mutual concern” while “defending our values”.

I learned today from 🇨🇳 state media that I’m CIA funded and want to carve up China. 🤡

Something to keep an eye on: with @RishiSunak emerging as 🇨🇳 preferred candidate, and @trussliz clearly out of favour for her more assertive stance, will we see influence and interference of the type claimed by @erinotoole in the Canadian election?

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

Just some of the MPs who led us to this result today. @Nus_Ghani @SKinnock @timloughton @IoWBobSeely
