Happy Birthday Your Majesty!
Today as The Queen turns 96, we’re sharing this photograph of the young Princess Elizabeth aged 2.
Then, in 1928, it was never expected she would be Queen, and this year Her Majesty is celebrating her #PlatinumJubilee - a first in British history.
The Ukrainians have the courage of a lion.
President @ZelenskyyUa has given the roar of that lion.
The UK stands unwaveringly with the people of Ukraine.
Slava Ukraini 🇬🇧 🇺🇦
Kyiv, our splendid, peaceful city, survived another night under attacks by Russian ground forces, missiles. One of them has hit a residential apartment in Kyiv. I demand the world: fully isolate Russia, expel ambassadors, oil embargo, ruin its economy. Stop Russian war criminals!

1/A personal story about how the CCP is projecting its censorship abroad: Last week, I sat for an hour interview about my case with a US-based podcast for Legal/Compliance professionals. But you'll never hear the episode, because it was canceled within an hour after wrap.
Wow, OK. Long thread. What happened to this man is not an isolated incident, but a deliberate, longstanding policy by the Police Force to use freezing conditions as a form of torture to put pressure on detainees. I know, because they did the same thing to me.
This weekend, I reaffirmed that I will always unapologetically stand with the people of Hong Kong at the Hong Kong American Dinner and Commemoration of Hong Kong Freedom Beacon.
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.
Please #RT if you want to watch "Revolution of Our Times." We all know China will intimidate any platform that hosts the movie. We are here to counter it, to demonstrate #PEOPLE's #POWER and support a genuine artwork that deserves praise.

How much is democracy worth?
As we approach July 4th, I’m posting a new #AxeFiles with @nathanlawkc, 28, the pro-democracy student leader from Hong Kong, who served time in prison and now is living in exile.
Sacrificing to win what we Americans have!

At 23, democracy activist @nathanlawkc won a stunning race for Hong Kong council. But authorities quickly stripped him of his post and jailed him for leading protests.
“Just in the month, I was degraded from ‘an honorable legislator’ to inmate.”
