A report leaked from the European Anti-Fraud Office clearly shows how the 🇪🇺EU’s border guard agency Frontex acquiesces to Greece’s illegal push backs of migrants to Turkey.

This appalling act of thuggery by #CCP in Manchester cannot go unpunished
I'm glad that senior politicians in all parties, including Hong Kong Watch Patrons Catherine West MP Lord (David) Alton and Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China's Iain Duncan Smith MP and China Research Group Foreign Affairs Committee's Alicia Kearns, MP for Rutland and Melton are speaking out
This is absolutely outrageous
We cannot allow #CCP to behave in Britain with the brutality, inhumanity, barbarity and criminality with which they rule #China
Suella Braverman MP James Cleverly🇬🇧 Tom Tugendhat should look into this incident at the PRC Consulate in Manchester urgently

Koldo Casla It was on script. It was an approved speech posted on the EEAS website. People wrote, edited and checked this.
