Succinct, articulate and infuriatingly true.
If it can happen in NI/6counties (over decades) it all too easily can happen in GB under a far right government.

ANDRÉE MURPHY: Justification of Renee Good's killing followed a familiar template
WHEN the American Department of Homeland Security ICE militia murdered Renee Nicole Good they followed a tried and tested method for state murder: justification and cover-up.

BREAKING Kemi Badenoch has sacked Robert Jenrick from the shadow cabinet, removed the whip and suspended his party membership.

@andreemurphy.bsky.social - well done for this article.

If we all don’t stand up for each other’s human rights, we all soon will be told we do not have any.

If you are keen on unifying the country maybe mention the disgraceful lack of voting rights of Irish citizens, living in their own country but on the wrong side of partition.
And mention it often.
Especially if you are a candidate 🧐

The early momentum of leading the alternative left government needs to be reinforced if the objective of replacing FF/FG is to be realised.
In that context losing would be a monumental blow to all parties.
High stakes.

The tenacity of families who refused to accept a Legacy Bill of impunity and no hope should be widely acknowledged today.
