The people of Hong Kong continue to have their freedoms suppressed by the Chinese Communist Party. Instead of standing up for their freedoms and challenging China, Andy Burnham, Ed Miliband and Labour are failing to support those in need, are weak and kowtowing to their friends in the CCP.

After 4.5 years of full-scale war, almost every Ukrainian knows these safety rules by heart.
They were learned through painful experience—but they can save lives.

We are disappointed that the 🇬🇧 High Court has dismissed @StopTheEmbassy’s judicial review challenge against the 🇨🇳 mega-embassy development in London.
Serious questions remain over the impact of this development on the #HongKong diaspora and other minority groups at risk of transnational repression.

🚨Today, two British judges dismissed @StopTheEmbassy's High Court challenge against the decision to grant China planning permission to build a new mega-embassy spy-hub in London.
Responding to the news, our policy and advocacy manager, @Chloe_chc_25, said:
"This is disappointing, but it's anticipated. The residents will now apply for permission to appeal, and we will support the residents in every way possible.
"For many people, this isn't just about a building. It's about whether people can truly feel safe in Britain.
"As someone targeted by the Chinese Communist Party, I know why it's so important that Britain protects itself from foreign intimidation. I came to Britain to find safety, and I don't want to spend the rest of my life looking over my shoulder.
"Even if this decision creates fear, disappointment, or makes people feel vulnerable, fear will not determine what we'll do next.
"We'll continue to stand up, speak out, and fight for our rights. We'll continue supporting the residents through every legal avenue available.
"We knew this would be a long fight, but we'll not walk away — the stakes are just too high."

Not if we can help it.
There will be no mega-embassy until and unless our appeal fails.
We are prepared to take this all the way, and always expected a long fight.

To those outraged by drone strikes on Moscow, yet quick to call Ukraine’s actions “terrorism”: this is what real terrorism looks like.
That terrorism has a name: russia.
