"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.
“Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

Reform UK voted against worker rights in parliament, favoured bad bosses.

Now it supports fracking which can cause earthquakes and negative environmental impacts.

Companies will make vast profits, people will pick up the tab. Many homes would be uninsurable. Who would buy affected houses?

Just finished the Nicola autobiography. Fascinating insight into the life of one of Europe’s best known politicians. Repeated focus on the almost crippling shyness & imposter syndrome insecurities which make her ascent all the more remarkable.

JAN: +111K

APR: +158K

Remember when 'Better Together' asserted only a No vote would keep Scotland in the EU? When a No vote would mean lower prices? Well, the truth is out, the WM govt admits that England's Brexit has led to inflationary price rises. The return of Scottish sovereignty is urgent.

A little whisper at the back of my mind is suggesting (and has historically done) that WM will not be too happy at Scotland having a direct route to the EU and therefore not inclined to expedite anything within their gift. Can't think why 🤔
