Radiohead’s Hail to the Thief Brilliantly Recontextualized by New Staging of Hamlet: Review A modern British production of Shakespeare’s immortal tale of madness and revenge brings out the underlying themes of Radiohead's most “political” album with the blessing of Thom Yorke himself.

Wondering 🤔 💭 🤔 Would TFL consider putting on more Elizabeth Line trains 🚆 in peak times? The morning rush hour/s combined with a lot of heathrow passengers isn't a great combination or making travel easy.

Jesus fed the 5,000, but the people of God can't fill the chasm left by USAID (RNS) — Stop pretending that well-meaning Christians can take over where USAID left off.

“Charity can take care of it” is a common refrain I’m hearing in response to US government funding being cut across the board.

No. No, it can’t.

Minister of State for Development, Anneliese Dodds, has resigned in response to the UK Gov slashing international aid to historic lows.

As conflict, climate change, and poverty are devastating lives, these cuts put the world’s most vulnerable at even greater risk. #AidCuts

Yes, when it's fully working... but the number of delays, issues, faults, signal failures and much more has in some cases meant it's got the name liability line

UK defence spending to rise to 2.5% of GDP by 2027, funded by cut in international aid - live updates The announcement comes ahead of a high-stakes meeting between Keir Starmer and Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday.

Absolutely gutted at this silly decision. Spending more on defence makes sense as the world gets less predictable and the US less reliable.

But cutting the aid budget is bonkers. It's needed now more than ever, and Labour's manifesto promised to increase it www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c4...

This is a deeply misguided decision by the government. Instead of cutting budgets that support the most vulnerable, we should be exploring more just and effective ways to raise revenue—such as taxing wealth. A fairer economy is possible find out more justmoney.org.uk/untax/

London is home to tens of thousands of Ukrainians—we’re grateful for their incredible contribution to our city.

Definitely going to dig into this. Am contemplating a Lent Free social media 🤔 could it be the catalyst for a more permanent exodus? I'm not too sure yet tbh.

Just had the most inspiring Zoom call with Archbishop Dr Jackson ole Sapit of Kenya - he tells me that the Anglican Church of Kenya has planted 8 million trees in the last 3 years to mark baptisms, confirmations, birthdays, ordinations, weddings and funerals. Incredible achievement.

Why do so many Westbound Elizabeth line trains 🚆 terminate at Paddington? In peak times (at least) could all trains/more trains not head further West?

Latest in my Radiohead Retrospective/Rediscovering experience. I Might Be Wrong. Live Album/Recordings from 2001 in the Kid A & Amnesiac era. Including recordings from the 'homecoming ' Oxford South Park gig in July 2001. The beauty of Spinning Plates and the inclusion of True Love Waits are both ❤️
