Active neutrality is not about being passive, it is about actively working to stop war and genocide and to uphold international law.

Is this what Labour politicians came into politics for?

To get cheered on by Tommy Robinson as they kick some of the most vulnerable people on earth?

Hard to understand how the UK Labour party has even a single member left, seeing as it it has now become everything that you imagine someone once drawn to joining a Labour party is vehemently against. No one joins a Labour party hoping to punch down on the weakest and advance far right arguments

Most unusual way to spell “Israeli genocide in Gaza” on @news.rte.ie just now.

International Criminal Court calls it a genocide, why is RTÉ, 14 months into a rolling massacre, still calling it a “War”?
