SELECT public.post_like.score, public.person.name FROM public.post INNER JOIN public.post_like ON public.post.id = public.post_like.post_id INNER JOIN public.person ON public.post_like.person_id = public.person.id WHERE public.post.id = 33297 ORDER BY public.person.name;You could probably also do
public.post.name = 'Italy shocks banks with 40% windfall tax for 2023'to avoid the instance-specific id.
