Today the Govt used outrageous procedural manoeuvres to avoid any straight vote on the Genocide Amendment and avoid defeat, in a flagrant attempt to deny MPs from having their democratic say. If they were confident in their arguments, why do that? THREAD
1/5
They are running scared of the Commons. By allowing parliamentary committees to rule on genocide, the Government has contradicted its own policy that genocide is a matter for the courts. Both relevant committees have already rejected these proposals. 2/5
The Uyghur people have been betrayed and denied their day in court. The Govt has turned a blind eye and has chosen to not put human rights first, despite clear cross-party support. Now is not the time for parliamentary games. 3/5
Now is the time to stand up together against genocide and do the right thing when it comes to our trade policy. We will continue this fight in the House of Lords. 4/5
The @LibDems will always fight to protect human rights around the world, and we’ll continue to push this government to do everything it can to end the genocide being committed against the Uyghurs and other persecuted peoples. 5/5
Is it against Chyna? I am in. First time I agree with you in anything.
Hmm. Let's see. Tory record: 125,000 deaths caused by their fake austerity 125,000 deaths caused by mishandling a pandemic. No real surprise they seem fairly relaxed about genocide.
Never mind, our democracy is virtually dead without PR.
One of the reasons for #indyref2, an Independent Scotland will scrap FPTP.
Outrageous procedural manoeuvres eh...Would it be churlish of me to say, what goes around comes around.
You'll have to provide more detail, Jerry.
