Opposing genocide is the moral duty of our time.

Yet Palestine Action activists have been held in prison for over a year without trial. Six are now on hunger strike.

Detaining peaceful protesters under counter-terror powers is indefensible. This is political imprisonment in all but name.

These unconscionable cuts to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child & even worse - these changes were introduced by the government without consultation, warning and no evidence base
🚨This is not what I expect from a Labour government

THESE SHOCKING cuts are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child - the Adoption & Special Guardianship Support Fund is a lifeline for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England

Ireland is pushing a motion to ban Israel from FIFA and UEFA.

It has made JD Vance very mad.

It's time to remove Israel from world sport, don't you agree?

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Really sad to hear of the passing of Sister Stan. She was legendary to Dubliners & a true voice for those who lived in poverty & loneliness. Her Christianity was one of example & friendship. Few lives are as significant as hers. She will be missed.

There is always money for war, never for the poor.

Every penny spent on bombs, tanks and missiles is stolen from our homes, schools and hospitals.

We are not going to take it anymore.

Ireland's voters did not vote the way the Daily Mail in England wished.

So now it is lashing out, using mental illness as a slur. I am not going to copy it here.

That paper deserves its sales here to be at zero imo.

Tomorrow! Wednesday 29th, 5.30pm, Dept of Foreign Affairs. War criminal Netanyahu has ordered the IOF to carry out intense airstrikes on Gaza. Already apartheid Israel's version of a ceasefire means a continuation of its mass murder of Palestinians. Our government must end complicity #SanctionsNow

If you were happy to see the unified opposition working together to get Catherine Connolly elected, I strongly encourage you to write a thank you email to your local rep from each of those parties, as well as the party leader.
Reassure them that continued cooperation will benefit them #spéirgorm
