Pope Leo at Jubilee of Migrants: β€œBrothers and sisters, those boats which hope to catch sight of a safe port, and those eyes filled with anguish and hope seeking to reach the shore, cannot and must not find the coldness of indifference or the stigma of discrimination!” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

In God’s hands Luke 10.1-12 Our distance from the events of Jesus’s life and ministry can sometimes mean that we miss both the challenge and impact of his words on those who were close to him. We can see this by …

'The fact is that it is not for us to worry about how others receive the good news . . . We must do our best and leave the rest to God, because the fruits of our witness are always in God's hands.'

Right-wing media fluffs Farage for years, to the point where he now leads the polls, and then start whining about Starmer being 'obsessed' when he starts telling some long overdue home truths. It's actually hilarious.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

Part of a cartoon by Ella Baron in The Guardian (27.09.25). Tells you pretty much all you need to know about Farage.

Who is Jesus for you? Luke 9.7-9 Reports about the missionary work of the twelve apostles were making King Herod uncomfortable. The movement, forming up around Jesus, was gaining popularity, something always disturbing …

'Not many who encounter Jesus with serious intent are left on the fence . . . So, who is this man for you?'
