So this turns out not to be an original response but delighted that Liz Truss’ legacy is that “to Liz Truss” is now a synonym for officially meeting a venerated and beloved elderly person, which appears to precipitate their death.

Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell has issued a tribute to the late Pope Francis. He says "obviously (as a rabid Anglican!) we were rivals in and out of the church but on his day he was different class 👏 👏👏"

BREAKING: Pope Francis has passed away on Easter Monday. I grew up Catholic through my mom’s family. No Pope has handled the many controversies of the Catholic Church well, but I have to say, I always felt that Pope Francis was trying his best to do the right thing. And he cared about people. RIP.

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

Right-wingers really really want you to forget this distinction. They want you to join them in separating the good people (who deserve rights) from the bad people (who don't). They are incapable of imagining moral universalism. They regret the Enlightenment. They are this country's worst people.

Just saying and doing things you actually believe rather than playing 4-D chess is an underrated political strategy.

I'd prefer not to be hit in the first place. Why is absolutely everything about enabling and mitigating for incompetent driving?

Btw, there are over 21,000 male prison guards in women's prison in the UK (well over 50% of the total). There are 51 trans prisoners in women's prisons.
