What’s happening in Saudi Arabia is the equivalent of Chamberlain’s Munich Agreement with Hitler in 1938. Trump will go down in history as the ultimate appeaser.

Is there a greater hypocrite than JD Vance? His government seeks to suppress any opposition, to fire anyone who disagrees with them, and to punish judges and lawyers who threaten him, whilst accusing the UK of suppressing free speech! Incredible!

There is no such place as the Gulf of America except in the fevered brain of a deluded solipsistic President.

I keep hearing how heartbreaking it is to see the gaunt hostages being returned to Israel; why am I not hearing journalists and others being heartbroken at Palestinian prisoners being released with evidence of brutality and torture? The media are so terrified of being accused of antisemitism 1/2

This is serious. New polling shows Reform UK surging—they could win 67 seats and become one of the biggest parties in Parliament. They’re building a ruthless campaign machine to push their far-right agenda. We need to fight back. Will you join me? www.stop-reform.org @hopenothate.org.uk

Why does Donald Trump denigrate DEI policies? Without them, he’d never have become President!

Maybe it’s time to call the treatment of the people of Gaza “Palestine’s Shoah.”

There has been so much cognitive dissonance today. We have rightly heard that the Holocaust was one of the darkest period in history, and that it must never, ever, ever happen again. At the very same time, Israel’s right wing cabinet are agreeing with Trump that Gaza should be cleared…1/2

To American evangelicals: you would be far better being led by an atheist President who speaks the truth than by a so-called Christian President who rubbishes and rejects the words of Jesus when spoken in grace by a bishop.

Huge shout of thanks and praise for Bishop Mariann Budde for her honest and courageous words at yesterday’s National Prayer Service. Trump insulted her, but of course, he can’t stand the truth about himself.

Sounds like a plan

One thing I’m confident of: of the five presidents who were at Jimmy Carter’s state funeral, number 47 will never deserve or hear eulogies like those we’ve heard today.

If there’s a campaign against Sadiq Khan’s knighthood by the Tories, maybe Labour should campaign against a knighthood for Nick Gibb, probably one of the worse and most Gradgrind education minister in recent years who has done far more harm to English education.

Where is the knighthood for Kevin Sinfield? There are dozens of honours given out to people who’ve just done the job that they were well paid for, while a man who gives sacrificially deserves nothing better than an MBE last year. The whole system stinks to high heaven.

In the midst of what looks a bit like a witch-hunt against the Church of England ( and without in any way at all minimising the hurt which has been caused to so many victims) it is worth remembering that at the heart of the Christian gospel is forgiveness and the possibility of a second chance.1/2
