I’ve written to the PM resigning as PM’s Special Envoy on FoRB. I can’t support Internal Market Bill in its current form, which unilaterally break UK’s legal commitments. As an MP for 10yrs & former Barrister, values of respecting rule of law & honouring one’s word are dear to me pic.twitter.com/dZq2TzX3kG

My letter of resignation sent to PM @theresa_may stepping down as Vice Chairman @Conservatives & PM Trade Envoy to Pakistan. 1. Cannot support Draft EU Withdrawal Agreement. 2. Very disappointed by lack of leadership shown by UK Gov to do morally right thing in Asia Bibi Case. pic.twitter.com/hcaxba1hJr

Today I called on 🇬🇧 Gov to apply Magnitsky-style sanctions to Chinese🇨🇳 officials involved in the unacceptable abuses of Uyghur people in Xinjiang, in line with US🇺🇸 actions. Gov must listen to parliamentary concerns & 🇬🇧 must stand for values of democracy, rule of law & liberty pic.twitter.com/fpwcGigt7Q

Today in @HouseofCommons, I asked @FCDOGovUK Minister @nadams to explain why 🇬🇧 Gov rightly imposed emergency Magnitsky-style sanctions on Belarus 🇧🇾 officials, but have not imposed such sanctions on Chinese 🇨🇳 officials over their unacceptable actions in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 & Xinjiang pic.twitter.com/OZwGPQvLdP
