"Every time I go into a prison, I say: why them, and not me?"...had not realised until he died what a strong campaigner for penal reform Pope Francis was

Ever done that thing where you get dressed in the dark and put on blue when you thought it was black? Trump is an embarrassment.

Pope Francis was giving his regular service when this little girl with Down Syndrome walked toward him. Security quickly brought the child back to her mother but Francis stopped them & asked the little girl to sit by him. So she climbed up next to him & held his hand while he continued his homily.

Pope Francis is smiling from heaven.

Hoping certain world leaders get a translation of today’s homily to take home. 💜Pope Francis

The Good Friday Agreement was signed 27 years ago today. It was an act of delicate diplomacy, which delivered peace and security to a part of our country where those qualities had long been absent. Those achievements should never be taken for granted.

#PopeFrancis Serious Q- how do ‘trads’ think issues eg women deacons, or pastoral care for LGBTQ+ outweigh Francis’ teaching on the destruction of planet, evils of capitalism & and treatment the poor? I don’t understand what they believe in, or where they see Christ in their version of church.

#PopeFrancis #LaudatoSi #Netflix “Pope Francis- A Man of his Word” documentary on Netflix Brilliant documentary reminding us of the radical and prophetic voice of Pope Francis. Praying for a successor who will honour and continue his work and teachings.

Brexit is more unpopular than ever with nearly 75% of Brits wanting rid of it because they can't see a single benefit. But among the Media and Celebrities there is almost complete silence, because their bosses are the only people who want it.

Where were all the women this morning, walking with Pope Francis’ body to St Peter’s? A beautiful journey and ceremony but really? Not a single female religious or official in the procession. #PopeFrancis

Pope Francis was a voice of moral clarity.

@bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social Hi BBC- just watching your coverage of the Mass at Westminster- the word Mass needs a capital M. #RIPPopeFrancis

‘The main thing I have learned from extreme weather events is that the climate crisis is shaped largely by inequality and the still-undisputed dominance of patriarchal and colonial structures, which also prevent the serious pursuit of climate protection’.

BOOM!💥 The number of @bsky.app users just hit 35 MILLION!!! 👏 LETS KEEP GOING, LETS MAKE BLUESKY THE BIGGEST SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM ON THE PLANET AND SEND MUSK, ZUCK & TRUMP PACKING! LETS DO THIS!

Everyone’s watching Reform UK, but the real story is Ed Davey, the most popular party leader in England. The Liberal Democrats are on the rise, it's just that the pollsters forgot to mention it. @stephenmcnair.bsky.social reports on @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Genuine question. Why is Farage given so much airtime by the BBC? Re the Scunthorpe steelworks, why not talk to someone from the green party or the LibDems? Both have more MPs than Reform

'The UK’s largest teaching union has called Reform UK “far-right and racist” and its leader has dismissed Nigel Farage as “a poundshop Donald Trump,” as the union pledged funds to oppose the party’s candidates in elections.' www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Have any of this lot recanted and issued a full-throated apology yet?

Mate You don’t see most of your kids.

I have more than 410k followers on X and fewer than 63k on BlueSky. Yet the same tweet about Russian money supporting the Far Right in Britain has been shared fewer than 100 times on X and more than 1,300 on BlueSky. That's how much of a propaganda tool X has become.

@garyseconomics.bsky.social on BBCQT 27/03/25 'We have a tax system which taxes ordinary working people 30, 40, 50, 60%, while people like the Duke of Westminster can inherit 10 billion pounds and pay nothing.' 'Why are we taxing working people more than billionaires? Tax wealth, not work.'

@garyseconomics.bsky.social Well done for BBCQT. Keep speaking up.

This will probably come as no surprise to anyone but..

🔥 Patriotic Millionaires UK campaigned last week across the country to advocate for a Wealth Tax, against the backdrop of significant possible welfare cuts in the spring budget.

People who have an abundance of money (more than £10m) won’t have to give anything up if we have a tiny 2% wealth tax (just £200k on £10m) they won’t out on anything. But we could raise a shed load of money to spend on the stuff that needs it - hospitals, schools - even tanks and bombs.

“Liberation Theology stressed structural change and mutual aid … At a time when evangelical Christianity is on the rise and associated with conservative politics, THE GOSPEL OF REVOLUTION serves as a powerful reminder that it doesn’t have to be this way.” icarusfilms.com/if-gosrev
