I'm less worried about politicians who make genuine mistakes than I am those who constantly lie and spread misinformation.

First the flag. Now the poppy A sombre display of remembrance is being weaponised and policed by nationalists

Flags don’t mean what they used to just months ago. I’ve written about how I think the same is happening to the poppy.

One thing I noticed today on that topic: so many people are wearing poppies that look nothing like the various ones the Royal British Legion sells…

I'm less worried about migrants than I am those who dehumanise and spread hate about them.

I'm not worried about a Muslim running NYC, but I am worried about a criminal in the White House.

Thanks for sharing.

#NowPlaying Florence + The Machine's latest album is fantastic! Confirming, yet again, that 2025 is a great year for music.

In Quiet Strength, We Remember Remembrance Sunday calls us to pause, to remember, and to seek peace. James writes, Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that …

I have so many favourite albums this year, far more than usual. Many albums have an emotional depth combined with heartfelt reflection. It seems to be a characteristic of 2025. I don't have an overall favourite yet, there's just so much great music being written and performed.

Climate Change is REAL As a Christian with a scientific background, who sees no conflict between faith and science, I find it incomprehensible that anyone can deny the reality of climate change and global warming. Simila…

Finding Truth in Nuance Seeing nuance in issues that others view as black and white can be both enriching and exhausting. It’s a strange kind of loneliness to stand in the grey areas, aware that truth rarely fits neatly i…

The freedom won by those who've given their lives is devalued by demanding that people wear poppies or shaming them when don't. Stop the poppy rage! Seriously, people! 🤦

It's right Andrew Mountbatten Windsor appears before US Congress over his links to Epstein and his victims.

He should also give evidence to our Parliament. The public deserve answers and full transparency about this scandal.

Elon Musk’s Political Interference Sky News have produced an exceptional piece of journalism exploring how Elon Musk, via his ownership of X (formerly Twitter), is increasingly shaping political discourse in the UK, particularly by …

Do you remember when it was breaking news that an average of 10 prisoners a month were being mistakenly released during the last year of the Tory Government?

No, neither do I. Strange that! 😁

It stinks, just like Russian interference to push Brexit through.

Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how

X is designed to radicalise people.

The algorithm promotes Elon Musk's agenda to promote racists and people who want violence bought - specifically - to the streets of Britain.

Members of Parliament, major institutions and the media should not be there.

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon

Today is a good day to be an American who doesn’t want to see oligarchic authoritarianism replace democracy.

Enjoy.

None of the problems faced by the UK can be discussed effectively without reference to the negative triple whammy of Tory austerity, Brexit, and Covid. Populist and simplistic answers don't help anyone, we have to face reality.

New York's Mayor is an American Muslim Immigrant. That's what makes America great! 🗽

Election day live updates: Zohran Mamdani wins New York mayoral race Democrats are also projected to win governor races in Virginia and New Jersey as Californians vote to redraw election maps.

Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani.

Hope wins - and it resonates far beyond New York.

Suggestions for who's running the prison release service! 🤣

Predicable bad loser reaction from Donald Trump! It's tiresome! 🤦
