I'll say it again. Our horror at the Gaza genocide and at the atrocity in Manchester comes in both cases from the same, inherent part of our shared humanity. We need to assert that shared humanity in the face of both these evils as loudly as possible, and in as many practical ways as we can.

I just want to take some time this morning to explain why, if you're a socialist, you are obliged to support trans rights, gay rights, immigrants rights and so on.
