Donald Trump has not assembled a “Board of Peace” for Gaza.
He has assembled a Board of Occupation.
The future of Gaza is not up to Trump, Blair or Netanyahu.
That is up to the Palestinian people.

There’s an intellectual insecurity to the Irish ruling class, its political parties, its media, its blind followers.

A cost of living crisis is a chance for profit for corporations.
We need price caps on food and energy, and take the profiteering out of people's essentials.

Simon Harris is more right-wing than Leo Varadkar. His ‘law and order’ posture on drugs is ridiculous. The war on drugs has utterly failed and drug abuse continues to damage working class communities.
