I see Israel are assassinating more journalists in Gaza.

Sickening. This murderous regime is on its way out, surely. The Hague awaits.

Today, Gaza lost another brave voice. Journalist Anas Al-Sharif was killed while doing what he did best telling the truth the world needed to hear. For months, he showed you our hunger, our grief, our courage. He stayed when it would have been safer to leave, and now he is gone.."

I didn't vote for Labour - you can't! With first past the post you have to vote for a candidate.
Where I live the serving candidate was a thicko after the expenses. The one I voted for has a degree, also served an apprenticeship and worked for years. His dad was a highly respected MP.

25 years ago Aoife Bell was killed by falling masonry just yards from here.
And nothing was done.
@frankoconnor.bsky.social and @judesherry.bsky.social have been highlighting the danger of these exact buildings since Covid Lockdown inspired them to walk Cork City.
And nothing was done.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people β€” in health care, infrastructure and education β€” to build a strong middle class.Β 

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
