Currently at the @UKParlEducation Teachers’ Institute for the next three days. Had a great tour of Parliament, met some MPs (@Nus_Ghani) and the Speaker of the House @LindsayHoyle_MP . I’m excited to take all that I’ve learnt and further enrich my students #TeachUKParl #CPD
Delighted to speak to Teachers Institute visiting @UKParlEducation @HouseofCommons on contrasting work life of an MP.
I am grateful to all the superb teachers across Wealden for their leadership.

🏥👩🏽🍼 I'm delighted that following my campaign with the Friends of #Crowborough Hospital, the Birthing Unit has now reopened 🎊👏🏽 Thanks to the superb work of the midwifes, it is a much valued, vital service for parents-to-be in #Wealden and from across Kent and East Sussex.
Thank you #HailshamLions for your donation to Hailsham Youth Services work in the town 🙏🏾👏🏼
@HailshamTC
Hailsham Youth Service has received a donation of £500 from the Hailsham Lions, which will be used towards the costs involved with the Service's latest project - ‘Girls’ Night’ - which takes place at the Square Youth Cafe on a regular basis....

A step in the right direction for 🇬🇧 security: DWP bans Chinese state-owned surveillance equipment from its buildings. This is my amendment to make sure it becomes Government-wide policy👇🏽

A reminder that @HikvisionHQ has marketed an AI camera that automatically identifies Uyghurs, whilst @DahuaHQ provides "Uyghur warnings" to Chinese police. Vile.
Hikvision and Dahua pose a serious security risk and should not be rewarded public contracts @HIKVISIONUK. https://twitter.com/AppgUyghurs/status/1541367169182752769
🚨 APPG on Uyghurs Co-Chair @Nus_Ghani has tabled an amendment to the #NationalSecurityBill, seeking to prevent public contracts being given to companies such as @HikvisionHQ & @DahuaHQ. Both are complicit in the surveillance of Uyghurs.

#BREAK @Nus_Ghani tables amendment to National Security Bill to exclude @HikvisionHQ and @DahuaHQ etc from public contracts. ✊
Every bill is a China bill.
Quote of the day. #QOTD
We're showing our support for #ArmedForcesDay by flying the flag outside of our office.
Cllr Richard Grocock joined others to raise the flag on Monday and gave a speech about "paying tribute to the work and sacrifices made by serving and former members of the Armed Forces."
.@Nus_Ghani is a true leader in campaigning for human rights. She and other members of the @UKParliament have taken up the mantle of advocating for legislative and policy responses to #UyghurGenocide. #Uyghurs could not ask for a better friend or stronger ally than Nusrat.
I’m pleased that having raised concerns about the nomination of HikVision for a @thebsia security award, the nomination has been withdrawn. Correct decision. We should be banning this company, not honouring them. #Uyghurs @ipacglobal @lukedepulford
Next up at the @Mersey_Maritime #ME22 @Ben_MUK chairing a session on innovation in maritime with @Nus_Ghani @ExpleoGroup and @Chevron
Our final panel session focuses on #technology and #innovation, chaired by @Ben_MUK @MaritimeUK and joined by former #Maritime Minister @Nus_Ghani, Ewan Chesser of @Chevron and Jonathan Taylor of @ExpleoGroup #MME22
🎊 I was delighted to officially open the new facilities at @uplandscc in Wadhurst alongside students & staff. Thanks to a fantastic investment of £12.5m, the school has a new building & sports pitch, which will enhance the learning experience of many generations of students.🎓👏🏽
In response, sanctioned MPs @MPIainDS, @Nus_Ghani @timloughton & @DavidAltonHL said Johnson was “advancing the interests of a brutal Chinese regime that is committing genocide on the #Uyghurs”.

A momentous occasion✍️
I've signed the government's agreement in principle with @moderna_tx to build major vaccine manufacturing and Global R&D Centre in the UK.
It will help develop cutting-edge treatments and better equip the UK to respond to future health emergencies.
Floella Benjamin: in future, people will say "meet me by the Windrush Monument". This permanent place of reflection and celebration shows how the history of the Windrush generation and their descendants is now recognised as an important part of British history #WindrushDay
These are some of those being treated at the main hospital in Paktika following the powerful earthquake in Afghanistan late last night…
Whole villages, entire communities, wiped out in a single devastating moment
More than 1,000 believed to have been killed
"Footage of Uyghurs being hooded and forced on to aircraft was aired as a warning to anyone thinking of fleeing the country"
The int'l community's complicity is weaponised by the Chinese govt. We must demand an end to inhumane & illegal deportations.

During #EnglishWineWeek , it was great to see @WSTA_Miles catch up with @Nus_Ghani to speak about the challenges #EnglishWine is currently facing 🍷🥂
@Bolneyestate wine was handed over to showcase the quality of still and sparkling English wines 🇬🇧
It's ALWAYS a pleasure to catch up with @Nus_Ghani who clearly retains her passion for #maritime. The @IntentComms team was present in full force at yesterday's @shippingics event.
Thank you to @SallyAnn1066 for supporting our engagement event at Portcullis House this morning. Fantastic to see @mimsdavies and @Nus_Ghani too and speak to them about our vision for the region.
Delighted to join @TransportfSE & Leader of East Sussex County Council Keith Glazier @SallyAnn1066 @mimsdavies to help deliver accessible local transport for Wealden. 🚌 🚆 🚲 🚗

Uh-oh. @UkCommittee hosts Chinese Ambassador, who is banned from Parliament.
UKNCC claims to operate no policy on China and purports to “advise” parliamentarians.
Wonder what @MPIainDS @Nus_Ghani @timloughton @DavidAltonHL + other sanctioned MPs + Peers think. https://twitter.com/editorbtb/status/1539527065657131008
China’s Ambassador visited Scotland yesterday.
Not mentioned in this article was the private lunch he attended, hosted by UKNCC.
At New Club, Scotland’s oldest, guests are salmon and strawberries, and heard speeches from Amb, Frank Slevin and others. https://newseu.cgtn.com/news/2022-06-21/China-s-ambassador-to-UK-visits-Scotland-1b37GwVlXPi/index.html

I'm deeply concerned to hear @hikvision has been nominated for a @thebsia security award.
@ipacglobal colleagues and others have been arguing that @hikvision, which has facilitated the mass abuse of #Uyghurs, should be removed out of every UK building. Rescind the nomination...
The PRC uses forced labor to repress Uyghurs and others. Today, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act goes into effect, which takes new steps to stop the importation of goods into the U.S. from Xinjiang made with forced labor. https://www.state.gov/implementation-of-the-uyghur-forced-labor-prevention-act/

The answer is two.

The Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act comes into force today. Easily the most significant legislation on the Uyghur genocide enacted by any govt. It exists thanks to the work of a coalition of Uyghur, human rights & antislavery groups. A historic moment.

The people really hit with this Labour supported rail strike are those who cannot work from home.
They tend to be lower paid workers. The kind of people Labour used to care about.
On World Refugee Day I attended the launch in Parliament of Tears of Gold - stunning portraits of Yazidis, Rohingya, Afghans, Nigerians and Ukrainians,by Hannah Thomas, of women victims of ISIS,Boko Haram,Fulani,Taliban,Putin & Burma militia.Hosted by my friend @Rehman_Chishti MP
Loved working with Hailsham’s Town Crier Terry Tozer over Jubilee weekend & he has a loud voice 🎙 🔔
Hailsham's new Town Crier Terry Tozer has joined The Ancient and Honourable Guild of Town Criers!
By joining the oldest and largest organisation which represents town criers, Terry will now be entitled to compete with other Guild Members in competitions:

It’s looking a heck of a lot like @tiktok_uk lied to @UKParliament during @Nus_Ghani Select Committee Report.
They should be summoned to explain themselves on pain of company disqualification.
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/emilybakerwhite/tiktok-tapes-us-user-data-china-bytedance-access
Tik Tok failed to respond to Telegraph inquiry about whether British TikTok users’ data can be accessed from China - as an employee admits that “everything” including private data “is seen”. British data should be stored in the U.K. and safeguarded by U.K. law.
What about UK and Europe? Where cross border data transfer happens under their own versions of SCCs?
TikTok’s privacy statement provides that it shares its data with its parent company and hence they are accessible by Byte Dance and the PRC govt. https://twitter.com/SenPaterson/status/1538053172132200448
This is a concerning report. As a bare minimum, the Australian government should seek the same assurances from ByteDance that have now been provided for US users of TikTok in response to these revelations https://twitter.com/isjamesking/status/1538033298357702656
I spoke about the Uyghur Genocide at a @FreefromTorture event on Wednesday. UK partnerships with Chinese policing institutions linked to genocide in Xinjiang must end.

A staggering 15,340 ARAP applications are still pending while Afghans are being killed by the Taliban.
Time is running out and the MoD needs to move faster.
@Azadi_Charity
6 years have flown by, but the day we lost Jo Cox still feels like yesterday.
Today marks the sixth anniversary of the death of our friend and colleague - Jo Cox - who was murdered on her way to meet constituents in her Batley and Spen constituency.
We will never forget Jo - or her legacy.
Six years ago today the person we loved most in the world was taken from us. Our family’s wish is that on this day we remember what we have in common, even with those we might disagree with. And to emphasise what connects us rather than what divides us. #MoreInCommon
