Yup. Great break in the first half but he had no chance of scoring and a simple pass to Tomos puts him under the posts.

Anyone near Nottingham? On Thursday 2 October I'm speaking at Church Reimagined, an evening exploring the future of the church - driven by social justice, progressive in its theology, fully inclusive, and accessible to all.

Come join me! Tickets are free, from churchreimagined.eventbrite.co.uk

Diagram titled 'Possible causes of your problems'. On the left hand side, subtitled 'Yes': Funding removed from local councils, growing gap between rich and poor, multinational companies not paying their taxes, lack of new affordable housing, government not investing sufficiently in schools and healthcare. On the right hand side, subtitled 'No': Picture of small boat, with arrow; 'People fleeing horrific situations that you and I can't imagine'.

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.

HELP US REPLACE OUR STOLEN E-BIKE A few weeks ago, our e-bike was stolen from the Oasis Centre during one of our food collections, and we now need to raise Β£2,000 to replace it.

For 3 years, volunteer riders have used our cargo e-bike to collect surplus food. In March alone we collected almost a tonne of food, but sadly, our e-bike was recently stolen, and we now need Β£2k to replace it. If you can help, we'd appreciate it:

DWP is using a sleight of hand in its disability benefit cuts impact assessment: Actual increase in poverty is closer to 400,000, not the 250,000 in the impact assessment.

Quick thread explaining why. 🧡1/7

Today's news reminded me of an old debt advice client of mine with chronic depression whose claim for PIP was rejected, and in the letter explaining the decision the DWP said β€œhe lacks motivation and cannot be bothered.”

You could be the optimistic early-40s person who tells them they’ll find much better pubs when they’re older

For first time since 2019 we're at Waterloo Station singing carols non-stop for 12 hours to raise money for Waterloo Foodbank! Not much has changed since then: last year we fed over 27k people. Our target is Β£10,000 - if you're able to donate, we'd appreciate it:
