From Hong Kong’s Tai Po fire to Jimmy Lai’s political persecution end impunity for crimes against journalists For the past two years, my father (Jimmy Lai) has been on trial under Hong Kong’s arbitrary and draconian national security law….

Larry's article on #HongKong 's Apple Daily & Jimmy Lai from December.

Prime Minister Starmer,
Where there's a ruling entity that seeks to do harm to its fellow citizens, why would you ask British interests to risk doing businesses in the region?

It's a day of mixed feelings for #HongKong

Yes, the BN(O) visa scheme is expanded, which we long demanded for HK youths;

But, the Government's inaction to free political prisoners including Jimmy Lai & many others, putting trade before British Nationals - don't treat the expansion as an atonement

The lack of principles between Starmer, Badenoch and Farage are appalling.

They'll sell you out at every opportunity.

In the face of mad man Trump and challenges from China, we need principles in politics for democracy resilience to stand a chance.

Even Labour's London group disagree with Starmer's approval of the Chinese embassy.

Royal Court residents could be forced out, the City's tech cables are affected. Keir Starmer has to answer why he's selling local interests down the drain.

Larry writes on the Hong Kong Apple Daily trial & Jimmy Lai

We must recognise those who takes the last stand for freedom and end impunity for crimes against journalists

www.libdemvoice.org/from-hks-tai...

Mere words of concerns from the UK gov aren't enough where it comes to British citizen Jimmy Lai who's facing political imprisonment in HK.

The UK Gov needs action to end impunity on prosecution of journalists who often took the very last stand reporting from the ground - & that's important

Pray for our friends in Hong Kong Our thoughts are with the families at Tai Po.

The latest casualty stands at 128 with over a hundred more missing. And 2000 families have lost their homes. We're very attached to public housing estates. It's a successful public policy before right-to-buy was frozen years after the HK's sovereignty handover.

HK man arrested for alleged sedition in relation to fatal Tai Po blaze A HK man has been arrested on suspicion of sedition in relation to the fatal Tai Po fire, according to local media reports, citing unnamed sources.

There're many unanswered questions. We know that fire alarms are not working and HK had some of the strictest building codes in the world.

We do feel HK authorities need to focus on a fair inquiry. Arresting voices of concern is not giving confidence to the people.

hongkongfp.com/2025/11/30/h...

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.

Hong Kong fire: At least 13 dead as more than 700 firefighters tackle blaze The fire has engulfed a number of buildings, with flames spreading on bamboo scaffolding. At least one firefighter is among the dead.

13 are confirmed dead currently in one of the worse disaster to hit the city overnight.

Contrary to what Chinese state media puts out, Japan's Prime Minister's support is holding firm. Support is up by 5.5% since Takaichi gives her firm support to a free & democratic #Taiwan.

The fact is, the problem is with #China, not #Japan. Modelling shows a Chinese invasion will include Japan.

Keep our Democracy Resilient!
Will you reward

Now, Let's stop the super Chinese Embassy!

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!

Today is a day to remember those we have lost in the fight against bigotry and hate. We will always remember their names, and let us never stop fighting in their memory. Transgender Day of Remembrance

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. It hits particularly hard this year - a powerful reminder of why we fight, and a moment to reflect on those no longer with us.

May they rest in power.

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.

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.
