“(...) future British governments could consider adopting a similar approach to the bipartisan Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act.”
I wrote this in July. Now the law has passed the US Senate. High time for UK politicians to exercise leadership.

Today the Senate stood with Hong Kongers against CCP tyranny. Beijing has been warned that the United States will consider stripping Hong Kong’s special status and take additional measures if it continues to encroach on the city’s basic freedoms. https://t.co/eXTHuzVpzu
2 schoolboys arrested by riot police near Kwun Tong swimming pool 8:15am. Unknown why. Today's the 1st day back at school & there've been several reports of police stopping & searching schoolkids. When things like this occur, it's a sign of how deeply the crackdown's penetrating.
On Senate floor supporting the people of Hong Kong and passage of the PROTECT Hong Kong Act with @SenJeffMerkley prohibiting commercial export of AMERICAN riot control gear being used against protestors.
Hkprotesters are kind, clever, brave, lovely and caring. This video shows a protester help the man to clean his eyes who suffered from pepper spray. Another protester gave a swimming glasses which they used to protest their eyes to against #hkpolice to that man.

Today marks an important step forward in the fight for freedom & human rights around the globe.
I look forward to joining my colleagues on the Senate Floor to speak in support of the #HongKong Human Rights & Democracy Act.
Watch here at 5:20PM EST: https://t.co/i2g75aj5nF
Another major victory for the pro-democracy fighters in #HongKong!
The Senate passed the bill I co-sponsored to prohibit the export of covered munitions items to the Hong Kong Police Force. The inhumane methods by the HK police need to end!
