A huge thank you to @luketaylorld.bsky.social & @bobbywdean.bsky.social ! The news that BNO visa holders will still qualify for settlement after 5 years is a huge relief for the Sutton Hong Konger community. We appreciate your relentless campaign to protect this vital commitment. #BNO #HongKongers

Honoured to join Remembrance Sunday at Manor Park, Sutton, laying a wreath for those who served. Thanks Jeff Richard & Cllr Ed Presley. Special thanks to Kan, a former HK Military Service Corps bugler, for connecting Hongkonger and UK history.

The BNO visa was a moral lifeline. The plan to extend settlement to 10 years is a betrayal.
This change blocks MPF access and forces our children into high international fees. The government must honour its promise.
As a Councillor quoted in the @financialtimes.com , I demand action.

Honoured to share my views at Sutton’s Mid-Autumn Festival in this CNA report. Proposed UK residency changes worry many HKers—BNO is a moral lifeline, not just policy. Govt must keep its promise for families who’ve built a home here.

Thank you, Bobby Dean MP @bobbywdean.bsky.social , for your powerful questions in Parliament. Your points on the proposed consultation and the "huge propaganda victory" for the CCP are a crucial reminder that a promise made to the #Hongkonger community must be kept. We appreciate your support.

Deeply moved by #TaiwanRecall in Taoyuan. Met Pastor Li & Co-Lead Sze, a HK immigrant seeing parallels to #HKProtests. Many young moms volunteer for their kids' freedom, fearing Taiwan becomes today's HK. Powerful reminder: The people are the boss. #TaiwanDemocracy #CivicPower
