Lots of egg throwing from protesters at the Kowloon City branch of the pro-Beijing political party DAB at Hoi Yuen Street #antiELAB #tictocnews
This is also a district office for Starry Lee and Ann Chang, but judging from the chants of 「民建聯！可恥！」the target was the party rather than individual lawmakers #antiELAB 
Spelling correction: Ann Chiang

There's a fascinating saga at play between the world's biggest advertising company, WPP, and its recently-exited founder Sir Martin Sorrell. Like a real-life Mad Men episode, here's where we stand (Thread)
Trouble starts in April. The @WSJ reveals that Sorrell, who's run WPP for 33 years, is being investigated for alleged personal misconduct. At the time, we know nothing more about the allegations. wsj.com/articles/wpp-i…
It all kicks off. Sorrell strenuously denies any wrongdoing and is furious at how the probe is handled. Within 11 days, he resigns from WPP. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
In one of life's more surreal experiences, I'm in a crowded Irish bar in Cannes hearing Martin Sorrell discuss his exit from WPP #TicTocNews
Martin Sorrell:
- Continues to deny allegations of WPP probe
- Defends his 'difficult' management style
- Says Mark Read alone shouldn't run WPP

There's a fair bit of personal drama here. Comcast CEO Brian Roberts has a long history of going toe-to-toe with Fox executive chairman Rupert Murdoch and Disney CEO Bob Iger for media dominance. These are astute, battle-hardened deal-makers bloomberg.com/gadfly/article…
