Important session from my dear friends Rahima Mahmut Stop Uyghur Genocide and Blair McDougall MP, as well as Special Envoy on FoRB David Smith MP 🌹, in relation to the Uyghur people. Five years and counting since many of us joined forces to fight for justice - and we won’t stop.

BBC News - 'Great British Energy solar panels' for schools were made in China.Two thirds (68%) of solar panels imported by UK in 2024 came from China. Now UK companies involved with products made with slave labour can be prosecuted. Ed Miliband bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Great British #Uyghur slave labour What do you say to that, Bridget Phillipson Ed Miliband? 'Great British Energy solar panels' were made in China bbc.com/news/articles/…

Lord(Chris)Fox trenchantly sets out the case for press freedom. I will vote with him & a broad based alliance of like minded Peers House of Lords to deter what UK Parliament Intelligence & Security Committee has called penetration by the CCP into every vestige of UK life.Enough!

Today Parliament approved new laws (by 112 votes) allowing foreign government investors to own 15% of UK newspapers. Wrongheaded policy rushed through to try to facilitate the Telegraph acquisition. NO to 🇨🇳 state influence in 🇬🇧 media. Lord (David) Alton had it right 👇
