Talks a good talk on Ukraine, and yet willing to appease China, desperate to do business w it, turning a blind eye to its threats in Taiwan, West Philippine Sea etc.

Sickening. This is what the Chinese Gvt does. And UKGvt is still so desperate to appease it and do business w it. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Don’t give China its London mega-embassy on the cheap. The price of normalised relations should include the release of Hong Kong political prisoners and £3 billion of trapped pension savings belonging to exiles who fled the city www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Communist China, the dictatorship that UKGvt is so desperate to appease & do business with, is the worst global perpetrator of physical attacks on dissidents, responsible for 22% of reported cases. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

A few years ago we published a report #DruggedAndDetained about how #China puts political targets and petitioners into mental asylums. @BBCWorld has just released a documentary describing how the practice has seen a recent surge. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV2f...

The regressive protest laws passed in the UK by the previous gov't gave police have powers to shut a protest for "nuisance". China's proposed mega embassy would be hard to hold even a small protest outside of. (By design) There must be space for protest! NO to the royal mint embassy plan!

The British government is preparing to override local opposition and approve China’s mega-embassy opposite the Tower of London, after deciding the space is adequate to accommodate protests. Activist groups plan to prove them wrong

As s/o who firmly believes in holding dictators & bullies to acct, it's taken me half a year to reach the same levels of disillusionment with UKLabGvt that it took me yrs to reach w the previous Cons gvt. More pathetic appeasement: www.reuters.com/world/uk/bri...

Following our reporting that China's new embassy site in London could give access to vital communication cables, the UK foreign secretary and home secretary have signaled support for the plans. REMINDER: UK intelligence warned the govt that China could tap the cables.

Keir Starmer and his ministers appear to be competing to see who can kowtow lowest to China. As I write in the spectator not only is it desperate & morally repugnant, but can only increase dependencies and undermine security #China #reeves www.spectator.co.uk/article/labo...

Horrific message for UKLabGvt to be giving out. if growing the economy is all that matters, why not (re-)establish trade relations with Russia, N Korea, Iran, Afghanistan? The human rights atrocities of these terrorist states are no more than those of China.

Lai’s trial “emblematic of the destruction of Hong Kong’s freedoms and the impunity with which Beijing believes it can now behave”. Damn right. It is unconscionable that this visit taking place at all & that UKLabGvt willing to ignore HKers’ guaranteed rights under SBJD, all in the name of trade.

Timing of Rachel Reeves’s visit to Beijing is awful. As I report in the Spectator, the govt's attempt to construct a coherent #china policy is shameful. If there is one lesson from recent years of policy failure, it is that appeasement doesn't work www.spectator.co.uk/article/what...

Another reminder that #CCP is a terrorist regime. Ru's 'no limits friendship' partner and 'decisive enabler' of its war in Ukr. Ally of dictatorial regimes in N Korea, Iran, Afgh, recently deposed Assad etc.

This type of pettiness reflects the fear of HK authorities who understand that hearts and minds have been irrevocably lost.
