Israeli police order C of E delegation to leave West Bank village after stand-off with armed settlers Archbishop of York’s pastoral visit to the south Hebron hills was cut short

The Archbishop of York was forced to cut short a visit to a family in the south Hebron hills on Saturday, after Israeli police ordered the Church of England delegation to leave the area. #WestBank #Israel #Palestine #ArchbishopofYork

BBC News 24 was a terrible idea. It led to endless hours of nonsense to fill the airwaves and a descent into clickbait.

That’s annoying for you but it’s sooo cute

Monty approves

Nothing is beyond the bounds of possibility any more … the new book is cracking, by the way. I love how you write in a way that speaks to a total amateur like me without losing the academic grip/credibility. I adore grip!

I had no idea that Callaghan - according to Wiki at least! - is the only British PM to have served in the Senior Service

Really grateful for this.

I have an obsessive aspect to my personality so I just went for it. You too could do it!

this sort of thing makes me feel sincerely that we have fallen from grace as a civilisation

Thank you, sir

I’m watching the new #Frankenstein and there is - of course - a scene where the creature meets the blind old man and ALL I can think of is the Gene Hackman scene from Young Frankenstein …

Omg. Ok folks. You need to do this—big feeds, please amplify ( @kevinmkruse.bsky.social maybe you can too)

Not usually interested in Luftwaffe kits but this looks incredible.

It looks sensational

What a beast of a grid

Pointing out racism in books is not an ‘attack’ – it’s a call for industry reform | Monisha Rajesh I was called aggressive for criticising passages in Kate Clanchy’s memoir. But the real problem lies deep in the overwhelmingly white world of publishing

#CelebrityTraitors is OFF THE CHAIN

Victoria's response to kamikazi transphobe Linehan reminds us that angry men are happy to harass women in the name of (checks notes) women's rights and that if a trans woman appearing on tv sends them ballistic then this is not about women's rights, it's about the eradication of the trans community

People are taking the piss out of this, but I was intrigued by the Polish marking. Turns out it's an acknowledgment by the local community of three Polish squadrons who flew from a local RAF base, 22 of whom died in service and 6 of whom are buried locally. I think the mockery is uncalled for.

12 LGBTQ clubs to show trans solidarity at home of England teams - Outsports Paul Williams, chair of GFSN — the world’s only national LGBTQ soccer league — speaks to Outsports ahead of a special matchday hosted by the English FA.

NEW: 12 clubs in the #GFSN, the world’s only national LGBTQ football league, will play on Sunday at St George’s Park, home of the England teams.

For chair Paul Williams, it’s a chance to showcase the GFSN and show trans solidarity, while on FA turf.
