All these politicians tweeting MLK Jr. quotes after they voted to ban his books from public school classrooms is a masterclass in hypocrisy.

HoC statement by Foreign Sec on Venezuela, including clear position on Greenland. Interesting that Cooper also spoke to Machado.

"I'm not important, what's important is what's going on behind me." Spoken by a modern-day Green Man outside the gates of the Crossbones Cemetery for #TwelfthNight, but also the proper attitude of any Christian minister (lay or ordained) any day of the year, frankly. #kenosis #epiphany ⚓🕯️ #cofepeeps

5000 wealthy heretics are still heretics. Also, even if they were all nominally C of E*, that's 5000 out of 1.02 million regular worshippers, i.e. not even 1%, so why in the name of all that's holy is this news?! #TLM
An open letter to the Government warning that its plans for a “full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices” could “criminalise mainstream, historic Christian teaching on marriage and sexual ethics, and make sharing the Gospel with some people illegal” has more than 5000 signatories.

Minorities and marginalised people in wartime deserve to be remembered as much as anyone else. I don’t think that has to be political.
The IWM is one of the best curated museums I’ve been to, and I’m grateful they’re willing to cross politicised boundaries to share real stories.

A Christmas movie!
Today the Company will depart. Bilbo gives Frodo his sword Sting and—secretly—his magnificent Dwarvish mail-coat of pure mithril. The old hobbit sings softly.
‘I sit beside the fire and think
of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring
that I shall ever see…’
