@feike The UK's two far-right parties are the #Conservatives and #ReformUK - one more economically far-right, the other one more authoritarian.

#Labour and the #LibDems are both more 'normal' right-wing parties. Labour are currently in power.

The centre-left parties are all constrained to one or two of the four nations that make up the UK - #SNP and #Greens in Scotland, different Greens in England and Wales, #PlaidCymru also in Wales, and the #SDLP in Northern Ireland.

In Stormont, change is what's needed,
But progress feels greatly impeded,
The new SDLP chief,
Wants peace to be brief,
For a united, strong land, we're pleaded.

SDLP leader Colum Eastwood is boycotting the White House St Patrick’s celebrations over the Biden administration’s support for Israel.

#Israel #Gaza #NorthernIreland #SDLP #ColumEastwood #Genocide

Twittter post by Colum Eastwood leader of the Northern Ireland SDLP saying: "@columeastwood What’s happening in Gaza is a genocide and the response of the international community is heinously deficient. I can’t in good conscience attend White House parties, rub shoulders and drink Guinness while the horrifying impacts of this brutal war continue. It would be the very opposite of solidarity with a people on the brink of destruction. Leader of the SDLP"

‘They attempted to kill John – they attempted to kill his family’: John Hume, the IRA and decades of death threats

@harriettmb

I read that this morning Harriet. My first thought is when Michelle #SinnFein is moving onto Hume #SDLP political ground, what is the point of the SDLP? Other than the fact they take their seats at Westminster, which is becoming less and less important to this island.
