Trump revokes landmark ruling that greenhouse gases endanger public health The White House calls it the largest deregulation in US history, but environmentalists say it will prove costly for Americans.

Trump - he really is the personification of evil.

Donโ€™t be afraid, just ask Mark 7.24-30 This story about a Syrophoenician woman making a request of Jesus is difficult to hear. It casts Jesus in a disparaging light regarding his attitude towards the woman. She was a Gentilโ€ฆ

'Now we know that for Jesus there are no outsiders, and the story is a reminder to us that the love, compassion, and healing power of Jesus are available to all who are open to receive it. Whomever, whenever, wherever. There are no exclusions, no exceptions.'

Post-Brexit sales of British farm products to EU fall by 37% NFU warn it could take years to restore Brexit losses despite efforts to smooth negotiations on farming and other elements of UK-EU reset

โ€œIt could take years to restore Brexit lossesโ€

Especially if Farage comes along and tears up the โ€˜resetโ€™ as he threatens.

Honest to god.. itโ€™s such a tedious, idiotic, resource-sapping mess. Thereโ€™s really nothing patriotic about it. Prejudice costs such a lot.

When to walk away Mark 6.7-13 I wonder if you have ever been in a conversation, a discussion, or an argument where, despite your best efforts, someone is unable or unwilling to give due attention to what you are sayโ€ฆ

'What a different world it would be if we could only learn to manage our differences better, even if that sometimes means walking away from conflict instead of inflaming it.'

Taking time out Mark 3.7-12 Markโ€™s gospel is a fast-moving account of the life of Jesus, from his baptism by John at the River Jordan to his Resurrection (the longer version of Mark ending with the Ascension). Betโ€ฆ

'So, let's take a little bit of space in our day, and in our week, for some time out to recharge and pay attention to our wellbeing. Moments of quiet and stillness, time to reflect and pray, opportunities taken to do things that feed our souls.'

Trumpโ€™s ICE spreads mayhem and misery โ€“ and sounds a dark warning for Europe This is another glimpse of what happens when fear and loathing of migrants curdles into toxic tribalism

The ICE murders in Minneapolis are a โ€œglimpse of what happens when fear and loathing of migrants curdles into toxic tribalism, another grim warning for all those European voters flirting with the far-right and dark forces of nationalism.โ€

Thatโ€™s Reform in the UK.
