Inviting Han Zheng to the coronation is inappropriate. To some Hongkongers, it's an insult to the community.

UKIP have lost ALL of their six remaining councillors.
This means UKIP has been *completely* wiped out as an electoral force.

When the government fails to expel a diplomat who is targeting MPs and their families - particularly when the information becomes public - it signals to authoritarian states that Canada is open for foreign interference.

Meta found a Chinese troll network hiring anti-Soros protesters, setting up a fake company in London, and shitposting anti-immigrant takes in an apparent (lame) attempt to stir up division in the west. So naturally I applied. They're hiring, folks. rollingstone.com/politics/polit

The 's account was suspended yesterday, without notice or explanation.
The reason?
We're telling the truth about how China is stripping Hong Kongers of their human rights and persecuting pro-democracy activist #JimmyLai and others.

This is a big deal: For the 1st time, China voted for UNGA resolution condemning Russia's aggression against Ukraine. So did India, Brazil & Indonesia. 122 votes in favor. Only 5 votes against (Russia, Belarus, Syria, NKorea & Nicaragua) & 18 abstentions.

The CCP likes to try to control people it views as Chinese - no matter their citizenship.
I know of Brits, born here, who've been victimised by CCP forces because of family links to China.
UK government silence mirrors CCP racism.
If Lai were white, they'd protest.
