Glad to see the representative of the Quakers at Catherine Connolly’s #inauguration ripping gently into politicians.

No Quaker would ever use the expression, but basically she asked the politicians present to stop
“Smearing the BeJaysus” out of refugees seeking safety in Ireland.

A good day.

Protesters gathered today outside Truro Cathedral in Cornwall, holding signs reading "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action."

Similar demonstrations also took place across the UK, including in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol, and Derry.

This week a question from @rachaelmaskell.bsky.social revealed that the UK is training Israeli soldiers - making us actively complicit in the Israeli government's genocide in Gaza. I've asked the Defence Secretary if he'll put a stop to this - there is no excuse for letting this go on.
