    20 years ago today nearly 3,000 people, including 67 UK nationals lost their lives in the appalling 9/11 attack which shook America & the free world. We will never forget those who died. We pay tribute to emergency workers & all those that responded to this cowardly atrocity.

    Today marks the first time that the Hong Kong National Security Law has been used to charge a civil society organisation. This demonstrates the expanding use of the law to silence the Chinese Communist Party's critics, rather than the avowed aim of restoring security.

    Today's arrests of members of the Hong Kong Alliance are another chilling demonstration of how the National Security Law is being used by Beijing to dismantle civil society and stifle political dissent in Hong Kong.

    Another Qatari flight carrying British nationals from Kabul has arrived safely in Doha - following my visit to Qatar last week to reinforce our cooperation to keep vital routes open. The Taliban must allow safe passage for those who want to leave.
