Sinn Féin's migration narratives has been a play with fire & the fire nearly exploded, literally. Kudos to the party's leadership for addressing this. But this should be a wake up call to all political establishment. Your leadership inspires others to act. What actions do you want to inspire?

Politicians with a migration heritage acting as if their lived experiences makes them more deserving than other migrants disgusts me more than politicians who are out of touch with reality due to their privileged background. Even more so when they hide behind supposedly liberal & democratic values

Happy Democracy Day. A gentle reminder that the right to vote is a right to democracy. #VotesForMigrants open.substack.com/pub/migrants...
