I know many of my constituents will be deeply alarmed by the jailing of 45 Hong Kong pro-democracy activists. Today I spoke in Parliament about the need to better protect Hongkongers in the UK so they can exercise their civil liberties without fear of transnational repression.

Thank you, David Pinto-Duschinsky MP, for your steadfast support of the Hong Kong community and for raising our concerns in Parliament 🏛️. Your advocacy gives us hope ✨ and a stronger voice on both local and national issues. 💪 #StandWithHongKong #CommunitySupport

81 and counting. The sheer number of betting shops opening in Brent is a scandal - and it's a scandal this council has been powerless to stop for far too long. 📃 Yet another application has come into the council, but we need the powers to say enough's enough. Here's how:

As the bells of Eve ring, we should celebrate love and hope. Yet, our hearts are heavy as the HK police invoke the repression again, targeting activists abroad. But together, we stand united! 💪Let's carry the spirit forward into 2025! 🎄✨ Wishing everyone a festive season! 🌟❤️

Met Keir Starmer at UK Prime Minister 🇬🇧. The PM was eager to engage. The Lunar New Year should be a time for family reunions, but many dissidents are denied this in prison or exile. We stressed that this occasion is fundamentally humanitarian. Hongkongers in Britain 英國港僑協會 🇬🇧 #Freedom #Rights

Firmly shook Keir Starmer’s hand, had a meaningful chat & I made it clear: we’re not doing enough for #HongKong and Human Rights. Sad to see fellow activists risking everything outside Royal Mint Court. This only strengthens our resolve to tell PM must stand FIRM on our values.

Spoke at the inquiry on the CCP Embassy proposal, where pro-Beijing staffers were mobilised to attend. They smirked & shook their heads at any mention of state oppression against Chinese people. This vibe seeps into the indifferent UK bureaucracy, after a top-level call with Xi.

‼️ NEW PROTEST OUTSIDE 🇨🇳 MEGA EMBASSY. We don’t want a massive hub for espionage and transnational repression located right over sensitive cabling infrastructure where it’s not possible to protest safely. NO. *15 March. 3pm* JOIN US. ✊

🕯️36 years after Tiananmen, the world talks deals, not dignity. Freedom is bartered, conscience side-lined. We must remember those who stood before tanks — and demand a diplomacy led by values, not transactions.🧭🕯️ #June4 #Tiananmen36 #NeverForget #HongKong

We are living in a world where diplomacy is no longer led by values but by transaction. In the face of a rising tide of realpolitik, liberal democracies, including the UK 🇬🇧, must reclaim a diplomacy that is based not only on what is expedient, but on what is right. 🌍⚖️#June4

One week to go to Wembley Jobs Fair 2025! #LabourForJobs

Everyone deserves to feel safe where they live. 👮 We're working with residents and our local Police teams to get weapons off the streets, clamp down on gangs, and provide pathways for Brent's young people away from crime. Here's how 👇📰 kilburntimes.co.uk/news/25314834.…

🎰 It’s over 20 years since the Gambling Act came into effect - and in a fast-changing world, it’s overdue a revamp. Local communities deserve a say over how their high streets look and feel, especially when it comes to new gambling premises. We’re backing #PeopleBeforeProfits.

Hongkongers in Britain 英國港僑協會 🇬🇧 assesses the proposed UK Extradition Act amendment poses no increased risk to the society. It removes Hong Kong from Part 2 territories, placing it with China & North Korea. ⚖️ Still, HKB urges safeguards under Sec 194. 🔽 See details below. #HongKong #UKLaw

Relieved to see cross-party MPs debate our petition on keeping 5-year ILR for HK BN(O) visas. HK diaspora brings culture, economy & moral compass to 🇬🇧 : govt must listen. We know the risks of China’s autocracy, & we still hold the torch for democracy. 👉 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7273…

🌕We remain unafraid to speak inconvenient truths, and we will not be cowed by legal threats. Wherever we are, may this moonlight bring us strength and warmth, reminding us that even far from home ❤️, our hearts remain connected 🌏. Wishing you all a heartfelt #MoonFestival!
