    Think about it for a minute.

    Do you think all the people currently struggling with the cost of living, lack of healthcare, high taxes with nothing to show for it, public services going down the drain etc etc, care about whether a political party supports a ceasefire for somewhere thousands of miles away?

    It’s the height of ridiculous virtue-signalling and “optics”.

      I dunno, that’s why I was interesting in reading some analysis you may have. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume people can care about more them one thing. I find your claim unbelievable, but I’m happy to be corrected.

      I’m not sure how we, as a society, have gone from I oppose the needless random killing of innocent people to oh stop virtue signalling.
