A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

And yet - nothing about this is on the BBC main app.

It’s hidden under Welsh news.

Nothing in the Daily Mail, Express, The Sun, The Times.

Seems like Farage’s opinions on everything make front page news EXCEPT when one of his guys admits to taking Russian bribes….🤷🏼‍♀️

It's beyond me why the PM doesn't want to put out this simple message. It's not hard. Hold a reception for prominent non-white British sportspeople, actors, etc to point out the kinds of well known and well liked people this kind of ugly nationalism is attacking. It's really not rocket science. 5/5

Teach us, Lord,
to see what is most valuable
about each person we meet:
not the value or lack of
possessions or wealth,
not the value or lack of
position or status,
not the value or lack of
image or celebrity,
but the value
of your image in them,
and love for them.

Fill us, Lord,
with your creative,
reconciling love.
In response to calls
to exploit and enhance
differences between
people and nations,
to divide communities
and cultures,
to attack or
discriminate against
that which seems other,
may we build peace
and offer hope.

give us a yearning

that our focus may be on
the priorities and promises
of your kingdom, your love.

However far we feel
we stray from you Lord,
you remain always near to us,
ready to embrace us in your love,
ready to confirm in us your living hope,
ready to renew in us the life of your kingdom.
Draw us close, and inspire us to share
your grace and peace with all.

Inspire us, Lord,
to see and to celebrate
the gift of each person
we encounter;
to see not an ‘other’,
but a person
made in your image,
a fellow sibling
in the human family.
Help us journey together
as pilgrims,
seeking understanding,
seeking wisdom,
seeking peace.

Since the election win Labour have

1. Appeased the far right

2. Delivered otherwise good policy ideas in a bad way e.g. WFA

3. Targeted the disabled with cuts instead of the richest with a wealth tax

The result? 808 Reform councillors

Labour need to change direction and be less cruel, fast

In Eden, Lord,
the selfishness
and sinfulness
of humanity
led to death,
and our exile
from the garden
in shame.
At Easter,
your selfless
and sinless
bearing of our sins
led to new life,
and our mission
to go from that garden
in your love,
bearing good news
for all.

Help us draw one another

You take seriously, Lord,
the mess we make of the world
by our selfishness and sinfulness;
you take seriously the impact,
on our lives together
and on our life with you;
you give yourself in love to save us.
May we know and share your peace,
and live out your love.
