War in Europe. China flexing its economic power. Trump unsettling old alliances. The world has changed, and Britain must adapt. Our security and prosperity depend on a stronger partnership with Europe. @alpinkerton.bsky.social

Britain's defence shouldn't come with someone else's price tag 🏷️ Trump and Vance are unravelling the alliances that kept us safe — while we pay a premium tied to their unpredictability. Defence Bonds: a public stake in Britain's security. #DefenceBonds

“Will China invade Taiwan?” Wrong question! China claims “strategic autonomy” while bankrolling Putin and Tehran — not neutrality, but cover. The real question isn't if or when China moves on Taiwan — it's whether we're building the democracy and resilience to defend ourselves. #UKChina #Taiwan

As the Hong Kong diaspora living in the UK, we know exactly what it costs to lose a functioning democracy — and we're not willing to watch this one fracture the same way. Andy Burnham, will you fight with us to fix our broken political system now — before it's too late? #ProportionalRepresentation

"Fix our broken political system now — before it's too late," that's our call to Andy Burnham. As the diaspora from #HongKong, we've seen a democracy dismantled by design, not bad politics. Britain's fragmenting under FPTP. The fix is #ProportionalRepresentation — fix bad politics now! 🧵see below

🟥 "China: a 'peaceful rise.'" Across this series: spies convicted in London, a mega-embassy waved through, leaked docs on weapons co-development with Moscow. 'Peaceful' was never a description. It was the Chinese party-state's strategy all along. #UKChina #RedCard

Liberal Democrats Friends of Hong Kong @libdemshk.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

🟥 "Enrich China — it'll come round." Propelling China to the 2nd-largest economy hardened its politics instead — Hong Kong crushed, spies convicted in the UK, a mega-embassy waved through. We let Beijing assert itself globally without the costs of power projection. #UKChina #RedCard

Liberal Democrats Friends of Hong Kong @libdemshk.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

🟥 "Don't treat China like Russia and Iran." DER SPIEGEL's probe shows why that's naive: Russia & China co-operated closely in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Xi uses this nexus to assert strategic leadership against liberal democracy. China belongs on UK's FIRS Enhanced Tier. #UKChina #RedCard

🟥 "Trading with China? Just pragmatism." — Starmer sent himself and his Chancellor to Beijing as a priority. China now dominates critical mineral and tech supply chains the UK depends on. Ignoring that isn't pragmatic — it's a choice between free & open partners, or dependence on China. #UKChina

🟥 "Disengaging from China? Cancel culture." — that's Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper's own words, used to wave off critics of the UK's warming ties with China. Calling out #transnationalrepression isn't "cancel culture." It's basic due diligence — due diligence shouldn't need defending. #UKChina

Farage resigned his seat this week to dodge questions about his donors. An ex-party leader jailed for foreign interference — taking Russian bribes for pro-Kremlin statements. Millions more in donations tied to Hong Kong, routed through loopholes in UK election law. Some "anti-establishment" party.

Nigel Farage is a Temu Trump who's spent his whole life dodging responsibility for his actions. He has done nothing for his constituents and instead focused on lining his own pockets. This new stunt is his latest attempt to escape consequences for his biggest grift. We won’t let him.

Ed Dave quote that reads:
That was a self-obsessed diatribe delivered by a Temu Trump who seems to think he is sat in the Oval Office.

He has done nothing for his constituents and instead focused on lining his own pockets. The people of Clacton deserve better than a rubbish Trump tribute act.

Nigel Farage claims to know what it is like to live under communism. But the politics he is pushing is not freedom — it is permanent grievance, personality-cult politics, and a “people versus establishment” stunt straight from the Mao Zedong playbook.

10 years since #Brexit. What have we lost? £90bn a year — the cost of the Tories' deal. Labour is rushing to Beijing for deals with an authoritarian regime instead of rebuilding ties with Europe. Only single market access puts Britain at Europe's heart. 🔶 #libdems

A legend is - the Tuen Ng Festival 端午節 is about Qu Yuan who was falsely accused of treason & banished. Out of despair, he drowned himself into the Miluo River. 🫂People raced out to save him China wanted to skew history and claim Qu Yuan. Truth is, the same ignorance in governance is still present.

PARALLEL POLICY: Government's under-16s social media ban. "No child in Britain needs to know the failures of authoritarian governments -- just in case Starmer fails as badly." From HK to Georgia, youth engage social media in calling out authoritarian policies that kills off their country's future.

The Tibet Autonomous Region is almost completely sealed off by the Chinese Communist Party, shutting out all outside access. I’m deeply concerned that this secrecy could allow the Chinese authorities to carry out environmental damage in this region with serious global consequences.
