A big crowd has gathered at Maguiresbridge PS for tonight's vigil. Many say they want to be here to support the family. Members of the local GAA club Vanessa, James and Sara were part of, the First Minister & local church reps all showed up. A minute's silence was held. #UTV
If Trump grants Maxwell a commutation (to time-served), how is that likely to play amongst the MAGA base and the wider pro-Trump Republican movement?

Scotland’s First Minister writes:
The scenes in Gaza are horrifying to watch. Israel is deliberately starving civilians. Children are dying as food and aid are blocked. Nothing can justify it. Enough is enough. The UK government must force Israel to let aid into Gaza, and the killing must stop. Now.
