[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

This is a very thoughtful piece and I agree. We have a large notional short position against the Hong Kong dollar through the ownership of put options. The peg no longer makes sense for Hong Kong and it is only a matter of time before it breaks. https://t.co/efp62TuB03

No it is all about science, political science.

So: you can only meet 1 other person with your masks on, unless you pay a restaurant, in which case 3 other people with your masks off, but parties at home are still unlimited. And no, we still haven't got vaccines so stop asking about that. https://t.co/m5tEXqKxVl

@Elizabeth_Utley I won't blame the administrator I think it was good intention. Just the student body is not truly diversified and the locals are unable/unwilling to speak English.

If it is so treasonous for Britain to extend rights to BN(O) holders, what does it make these so called loyalists who applied for them at the first place?

[Luke de Pulford @lukedepulford]

Easy to laugh at these pro-establishment loyalists struggling to tear up British Passports, but this odd scene reveals something important about ever-deepening divisions in #HK society right now.

@DominicRaab can do better

[James Landale @BBCJLandale]

Breaking: @DominicRaab tells China that unless it suspends plans for new security laws in Hong Kong, the UK will give greater visa rights to 300,000+ British National (Overseas) passport holders. Current right to 6 mths in Britain without visa would be increased to 12 mths.

So if a Hong Kong resident visited Hubei, they can still use the E-channel, right? Brilliant, Carrie, that will solve the problem. Just like your extradition bill would plug the "legal loophole." This should give us all confidence. Glad you returned from Davos to lead the fight!

A press member from HK01 broke down in tears saying his daughter’s upstairs as officers fired tear gas to disperse protesters. Police had returned to Sai Wan Ho after protesters set fire and road blocks. #hongkongprotests

Oh. Em. Gee. Brilliant 👏👏👏

@Birdyword Learning a new language is hard. It is not a political issue. The protests killed the bill. And CCP improved PRC economy for sure. Leave these expat alone :)

[GenerationHK @GenerationHk]

The @FinancialTimes calls Generation HK a "prescient, rollicking read" as it recommends it as one of five books that will help you understand what's driving the unprecedented protests in Hong Kong https://t.co/PJe0XyMMmN

Then legalise them! Remove the anti-competitive cap on Hire Car Permits and stop protecting the licence cartels. https://t.co/FDMwY6q4Dd

[Stephen McDonell @StephenMcDonell]

Just took a taxi to the airport. The driver wouldn’t let me pay because he said he was so grateful to the international media. At the terminal he shook my hand and said: “Please tell the World that #HongKong people will never give up! We will keep fighting for our freedom!”.

The HKPF brutally pushed down the citizen in the metro station. The boy’s head hit the floor. It may causes cerebral concussion. #LiberateHK #antiELAB #chinazi
