Absolutely heartbreaking, it is now deep into the night in HK. Reports indicate casualties have risen and more than 2000 families are affected. Housing estates in HK are where most of us live in. My prayers are will everyone in HK.

There is no doubt that Russia and #China shares their ego to engage in espionage in UK Parliament and malign influence to disfranchise our democracy. The Prime Minister's imminent approval to the super China Embassy will give Beijing power. Have a backbone for once - Show President Xi a Red NO🔴

President Trump may never understand, but Keir Starmer and his cabinet should know that Russia under the likes of Putin is always going to be hostile towards democracy. President Xi is testing by using Putin. And just like the warring states strategy「得寸進尺」, they will never stop their hunger.

BREAKING ‼️ The Govt has just confirmed that Hong Kongers with a BNO passport will still qualify for settlement after 5 years. I know how much this will mean to so many people - and will be received with a huge sigh of relief. Proud that our campaign has paid off and the Govt has listened to us!

1/2🧵 Both populists and authoritarians seek to marginalise in their effort to disharmonise our social fabrics to dismantle our trust in democracy. My belief is simple: Free to be who you are, for prejudice and hostility strokes the very tension those who seek to dismantle our democracy wants.

Kamran rightly speaks against Labour’s use of migrants as sacrificial pieces in hope to swing votes. When populist rise, it's progressive's burden to be fair. Speak on the integration and contribution from migrants. Otherwise, it's mirroring those who seek to disfranchise democratic participation.

With the second MI5 Security Warning on that Chinese spies are meddling with our democracy and institutions including the UK Parliament, it's a clear cut case to say NO to the Chinese Super Embassy in London.

Government must take action on MI5's second security warning on China's meddling with UK democracy: - Place China onto the enhanced tier of FIRS - Allow our elected representatives to scrutinise the China Audit and learn the complexity of the UK-China relationship, Britain’s interests and position.

While not elected as Diversity Officer for the South East, I'm please to announce my bid to join the SE Regional Executive Committee is secured. Congratulations to Victoria Nunn. Thank you for your support and I look forward to serving all of you 🔶 in my 2-years term beginning 1 Jan 2026.

Labour's asylum policy on periodical review will a) increase backlog, b) more administration, c) endanger political dissidents and opens the UK to malign foreign assertions The root causes are Home Office's inability to process cases and lack of treaties following Brexit. So fix the root causes!

As the dark evenings get longer & winter canvassing, I'm getting a new phone, need a) good battery for minivan, b) takes good 📸in the dark, c) secured chipset Any recommendations? 😄

Labour should stop acting like the radical "There Go the People". Flying kites to test views on preference for the Budget is as appallingly cynical as it is inept.

As Diversity Officer in the South East Regional Party, we will enhance our dynamics and strengthen momentum with local communities and immigrants, promoting fairness and opportunity. Vote Nicholas Chan #1 for New Dynamics in Engagements. 🔶

It's welcoming the former Jhoots pharmacy at Rainham town centre gets a new lease of life. Maybe Council's support can be: - persuading new owners to give unemployed staff a priority - a grace period for free parking and going to the pharmacy and shops www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/news/...

Trying to outsmarting Reform will only lose our core values. But we can build trust by sharing & engaging our beliefs. Why are 1st gen migrants least likely to vote? Today, they see the wrong focus on immigration rather than engaging fresh talents on housing, benefit reform and democracy like D66.

Final call ~ #Libdems Internal Elections 🔶I've made my voice heard voting #Kamran4VP Placing my trust on Kamran Hussain with the track record.

China audit? David Lammy hasn't told the full story. It's unpublished. When there's no reliable document for scrutiny, elected representatives lacked a comprehensive document demonstrating the complexity of the UK-China relationship, Britain’s interests and UK’s strategy and position.

I've Voted for Kamran Hussain as for Vice President in the #LibDems #Kamran4VP My proven 🔶Mentor, 🔶Champion & 🔶Empowerment! Vibrant & Diverse!

In the last term, HK's "patriots-only" parliament, 130 bills were passed and the only ONE rejected was LGBT rights. Yet, 60% in the city agree with same sex marriage. LibDems must stand firm on furthering LGBT+ rights, setting a firm example for human rights. hongkongfp.com/2025/10/29/h...

Our work in Parliament will be tabled in the next hour. We need to ensure no one in Britain will be too afraid to speak up for democracy. There must be no fear of extradition to China.

"Reform don't know what they are doing. Residents are paying the price for their incompetence." No more "Business as usual", if politicians like Kent Reform can't do the job, they should resign and let residents get on with a fresh start. www.southeastlibdems.org.uk/news/article...

A truly magical festival of lights. Happy Diwali to all who're celebrating in Kent & Medway and around the world.

故曰「弊 在賂秦」也。 Not to mention, there was a vibrant group of aboriginals in Taiwan long before they were colonialised by Europeans, Japan and, later, the Chinese who came with the KMT government. This followed years of authoritarian "White terror" which suppressed the Taiwan history.

Happy to see my friend Arthur standing for ALDE delegation in the Federal Elections. There's much opportunities to use the European liberal movement to engage with LGBT campaigns in Asia. 🔶Larry wrote an engaging article on this 👉 www.libdemvoice.org/lgbt-rights-... Good Luck Arthur! #Libdems

What pains me is this originates from a blunder because the Government failed to listen to good advice, incl' advice from the same political spectrum. And this time, it's more than loss of public confidence. The security and democracy institutions are at stake. Ministers need to come clean quick.

🔴There's a clear warning from experts that China's espionage activities to harm UK's democracy is only increasing by the day 🔴There's a mandate to "deliver security & prosperity at home & abroad" + accept that "malign actors are seeking to divide us" - Labour's manifesto So, see China as a threat!

1/ Prove that Labour is complete nonsense on UK-China strategy & on the Chinese super embassy - just like the previous government. The embassy should never have been a 'mere planning application'. #China practices an industrial-scale malign influence in the UK and super site will facilitate spying.

The libdemshk team are very concerned and upset to see the vile personal attacks from Tommy Robinson on Daisy Cooper MP. She raised important questions on threats from China and the populist far right on UK's national security at PMQs. We need more voices and support. Together we're stronger.🧡

Lib Dems press the Government for more reassurance on the rights of #HongKongers at Prime Minster Questions today. - BNO - targeted sanction on Chinese officials - Stop mega embassy - free Jimmy Lai Ed Davey is attending the funeral of our former party leader Ming Campbell. #Libdems #StandwithHK

My thoughts on the flags around town on my Twitter account👇 x.com/nicholas_yhc...

I'm hearing two Labour ministers call democracy campaigners "scaremongers" twice in a row in tonight's statements to the House. Are there only self-righteous policy makers in Labour's policy rooms, who last governed in the 90s and shuns out any concerned briefs from the younger generation?

We need to focus on the critical stage ahead in Israel and Palestine. Today is a much needed respite and pathway to ceasefire. But we all know the complexity towards a Two-State solution and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. All efforts should be on good policy making for the future.

I am profoundly disgusted at these attacks on ordinary people who put their time to public service. We've a democracy to protect and a system to debate our values with tolerance. The staff at Labour’s Rochester & Strood office are the brave defenders.

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay — a reminder that none of us are alone. Let's keep mental healthcare nearby and accessible. 💚

"The Prime Minister should show some backbone, call China out for its behaviour and place it – with Russia and Iran – on the enhanced tier of FIRS (the foreign influence registration scheme)." The Westminster Spy Case shouldn't have collapsed.
