One of the most active Labour branches in Northern Ireland, but according to the Labour Party we don't exist and can't stand candidates! Support #RighttoStand

Today trade unionists from all across NI sent Season’s Greetings to @chhcalling @SteveBakerHW @NIOgov
Our message is clear and will be repeated throughout December.
It’s time for a #FairDeal for Northern Ireland and its workers!

[MSF International @MSF]

Today we begin a campaign for an immediate and sustained ceasefire in #Gaza. @DrChristou has written to the @UN Security Council asking them to demand Israel end the bloodshed and the siege. It #MustStopNow. Read the letter 👇

Violence against women is at crisis levels in Ireland – yet up to nine counties in Ireland have no refuge spaces.

Our members in Royal Mail Customer Experience have delivered a massive yes vote for strike action and action short of strike in a dispute over hybrid working and the unreasonable actions of the employer.

Royal Mail must negotiate a more reasonable settlement or face the threat of disruption over the Christmas period.

Well done to our members for backing the union and standing up for themselves.

A bill to ban no fault evictions that doesn’t ban no fault evictions.

A bill to end leasehold that doesn’t end leasehold.

The topsy turvy Tories are down the rabbit hole - and through the looking glass.

Solidarity with all journalists and media workers under threat or attack for doing their jobs. @NUJBelfast @NIC_ICTU @BDTUC @uniglobalunion @EFJEUROPE @IFJGlobal

[Stephen Farry @StephenFarryUU]

Let's be clear. This is driven purely by anti-migration ideology. It runs contrary to the needs of the economy, and will peril many key sectors such as social care.

NI will be hit disproportionately. It is being imposed on us without consideration of the economic & social impact

[Mandy McAuley @mandy_mcauley]

UN human rights expert warns that Palestinians are in grave danger of mass ethnic cleansing and calls on the international community to urgently mediate a ceasefire between warring Hamas and Israeli occupation forces.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

“I have seen kids write their names on the palms of their hands, because when they die they want people to know who they are.”

– An aid worker for @MedicalAidPal speaking in Gaza.

When Israel is given the green-light to commit war crimes, remember what that means.

[Stephen Farry @StephenFarryUU]

Whilst Sunak is right that Israel has a right to respond to Hamas terrorism in line with international humanitarian law, collective punishment is a clear and specific breach of IHL.
It is profoundly troubling that he and others aren't prepared to be explicit on this.

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

Nothing - even Hamas' atrocities - justifies the collective punishment of innocent civilians in Gaza, half of whom are children.

Speaking in Parliament, I called for an end to indiscriminate airstrikes, withdrawal of the relocation order, and lifting of the siege of Gaza.

[Dr Rosena @DrRosena]

Palestinians must not pay the collective price for the acts of terror carried out by Hamas. World leaders have a duty to ensure Israel doesn’t deliberately indiscriminately target civilians.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

Children and families in Gaza have practically run out of water.

They are now forced to use dirty water from wells, increasing risks of waterborne diseases.

We need an immediate humanitarian pause to ensure unhindered and safe access to children and families in Gaza.

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

Voters want real change. If record energy profits had been used to help the British public, rather than given to overseas shareholders, we could have cut the average household bill by £1,800 and inflation by over 4%. ➡️ #PublicOwnership #Energy https://t.co/VZ8BlGhsLG

[Into The West @IntoTheWestRail]

Thanks to everyone who has signed our petition for #Fermanagh to be included in All-Island Rail Strategy. We're so close to our target of hitting 4000 signatures by this week. Please sign & share to ensure Fermanagh is not the ONLY county left without rail

Renters have been waiting far too long for the protections they were promised.

Four years after pledging to ban no fault evictions, Michael Gove has repeatedly failed to table the Renters Reform Bill.

Where is it? 👇🏻

Once more for those at the back:
We 📢 are 📢 not 📢 Unionist 📢 we're 📢 Other.

The first part is completely right though - we are entitled to democracy and also to the full rights of membership.
