This is very good. I'm reminded that we daily need to repent and follow Christ, not just once. As I reflect on my own discipleship, I'm grateful for the times I've been free to change my mind, and how glad I am that I did.

I used to think that the free press in Western Europe and the USA would prevent any repeat of 1930's & 40's Germany & Italy. I'm less sure when I read articles like this.

O'Neil out!
It's obvious that sorting a defence out is beyond him. So, why is he still playing a system that plays from deep at the back?

In assisted dying debate - people with disabilities are being talked over, shouted at & told their concerns are invalid
Ironically - those doing this are proving our point
Our lives are not considered worth saving. Our concerns go unheeded. We’re seen as expendable.

It's all Derivative AI, not truly Generative at all.
All AI's in the wild right now regurgitate from a data set, however huge.

What can be said about this dreadful game?
Any hopes that we'd turned a corner seem to have dissolved. O'Neil's inability to play in any other way than from a very deep position that is clearly making our defenders uncomfortable and Sa woefully exposed, shows how urgent is is that he goes.

If you're watching @itvnews.bsky.social article on Assisted Dying in Belgium, thinking "but that couldn't happen here", remember there had to be a first step. Decriminalising led to a place where a 24 Yr old has help to die because of depression. Phone AND email your MP, it's a close vote.

This is so important to understand why some of the things are the way they are. It's as true in the UK as it is in the US. And yes, it's an issue that is important for Ministers like me and other leaders to speak up about.
