Meanwhile, as @Phil_Brickell@josephpowell and @taxinparliament as well as @AlJazeera have highlighted, many enablers in London helped smooth the way of this wealth into the UK - and tough action must be taken by regulators where a blind eye was turned.
Great to see co-chair @Phil_Brickell raising the case of human rights in #HongKong.
Thank you to all the Labour MPs who continue to raise the concerns of Hong Kongers in Hong Kong and the UK!
London trip:
Pupils and staff have met with Phil Brickell MP who gave them an insight to his life as an MP. Thank you to Mr Brickell for the invitation and to his team for the help sorting our tour.

Today, on Remembrance Sunday, people across the country will come together to pay solemn tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, defending the values and freedoms we enjoy today.
On behalf of the whole country, I thank them.
We will remember them.
35 years ago the Berlin Wall came down.
A momentous occasion for Germany and Europe’s history.
After 28 years of division, families across Berlin were finally able to come together.
Let us never forget those who were killed fleeing the East German regime.
The fall of the Berlin Wall transformed the lives of millions of people in Europe.
Today, as our continent continues to face threats to its security and prosperity, the UK will work with our European neighbours to address them.

The agreement secures the long-term security of the base.
Yesterday in the Budget debate, Andrew Griffith said he was going to “educate Labour” about economic stability.
I pointed out the irony of this coming from the party of Liz Truss - and he literally didn’t know what to say…
✅ Signing new international agreements to share intelligence to intercept criminal smuggling gangs
✅ Working with key European partners to identify new ways to reduce irregular migration
✅ Tackling the scourge of organised immigration crime
