The Chinese Communist Party has no right to intrude into the affairs of Hong Kong's legislature Doing so amounts to yet more erosion of Hong Kong's autonomy under 'One country, two systems' principle We must not stay silent in the face of this blatant assault on #HongKong

This evening I had privilege of speaking at emergency demonstration for #Hongkong in Piccadilly Circus in London. On Armistice Day we remember those who gave their lives so we might be free. Now we remember those risking lives to defend Hong Kong's freedoms #StandWithHongKong
