Why MPs must stand up to China and vote for the genocide amendment
Parliament should halt the UK government’s immoral prioritisation of trade over human rights.

An interesting article which outlines conservative opposition to the labour party's proposal to actually do something about the atrocities. Its a minor problem because there are only a few tories who actually get it and are prepared to vote against the party. However, it has the potential to be a real embarrassment.
So here we have a socialist party proposing to take action against the communist Chinese government and seeing their proposals blocked by a CONSERVATIVE government that prefers the strategy of looking the other way.
One wonders what the Chinese have to do to make conservatives take action.
