ALT A square image with red Young Labour logo at the top White background with black text that reads: Young Labour sends its solidarity to our comrades in Brazil, after violent, right-wing insurrectionists invaded the National Congress, Federal Supreme Court and Presidential Palace. Taken straight from the playbook of Trumpism, this is a clear attempt to destabilise the democratically elected government of President Lula da Silva. As socialists, we must stand against any attempt by the far-right to undermine the will of the Brazilian people. We encourage our members to attend the Demo in Defence of Democracy, held by PT Londres
ALT My heart goes out to David’s wife and children, his staff, friends and constituents. This is a dark and shocking day. The whole country will feel it acutely, perhaps the more so because we have, heartbreakingly, been here before. Above all else, today I am thinking of David, of the dedicated public servant that he was and of the depth of positive impact he had for the people he represented. Informed by his faith, David had a profound sense of duty, that I witnessed first hand in parliament. His Catholicism was central to his political life and he was highly respected across Parliament, within the church and in the Christian community. Let us come together in response to these horrendous events. We will show once more that violence, intimidation and threats to our democracy will never prevail over the tireless commitment of public servants simply doing their jobs.
