@JamesFrith The commitment this takes is impressive. Well done!

He was a great man, and a friend. I think of Jack often.

But China is trying to turn recognition into obedience. Beijing is trying to turn the One China policy we recognise into a policy that states only Beijing has the right to speak for the whole of C...

It is a fact that the Chinese Communist Party rules the mainland - the People’s Republic of China. It is a fact that the democratic governments of Taipei govern the island of Taiwan and other isla...

Britain, like many others, has a policy of recognising what both Communist-led China and nationalist-led China claim - China is one. What the policy doesn’t state or dispute is who governs. Instea...

@DrOsitaMba You have confused freedom of speech with freedom from consequence. I recognise you are free to say what you like and I won’t stop you but many people reading your comments on social m...

@ThreeWordsWork @Pyrmha You are a child who has not even the integrity to use your own name. If this is all about Brexit why is it affecting Spain? France? Italy? Grow up.

@Pyrmha The court just overruled the courts saying that one person who came a number of years ago could become a reason to bring 27 relatives. They in turn will be able to do the same. Please do fo...
