RIP Lord Gordon.
A gentleman, kind to a fault. Cheerful, full of faith and verve. Spent most of his parliamentary time working across party lines. He could always be counted on. He will be missed.

Xi Jinping says #HongKongProtests “amount to a blatant challenge to the bottom line of ‘one country, two systems’.” This warning suggests Beijing is preparing to step in forcefully. Consequences for such escalation must be clearly & credibly communicated to Xi & Chinese gov't
The United States continues to stand in solidarity with the people of #HongKong & their right to freedom of expression & democratic governance. These freedoms were guaranteed under the 50-year arrangement agreed to in 1997 by China & the U.K. #FreeHongKong https://t.co/Srbpt6ySnr

At noon, the #HongKong government issued a press release falsely claiming that police have cleared parts of Tolo Highway for reopening.
Live media footage clearly showed it was student protesters at CUHK who cleared two lanes as announced in their 3am press conference.
Police senior superintendent Wong Wai-shun admitted at a press conference today that tear gas emits dioxin, but claimed protesters burning plastic cause more dioxin
This came after an article circulated online that claimed a police officer was also diagnosed with chloracne
