J Hunt forgot he owned 7 flats,
G Cox failed to declare £400K, IDS forgot a company paid him £25k, T Villiers forgot she owned £70k of Shell shares, Zahawi forgot to pay £4.8 million in taxes while Johnson & Sunak forgot just about everything.

Fun times at Wycombe Pride with All Saints today
August 23, 2025 at 4:41 PM
At All Saints Wycombe my sermon today on readings from Jeremiah, on deceitful prophets & Luke, with Jesus speaking of the conflict the gospel brings.
We must:
- Speak truth humbly
- Model the Way of Jesus
- Be spiritually well-resourced

Gospel 19’30, sermon 21’30

The moment I saw that "trans bra" M & S story I sensed it was nonsense.

Seconds later, having read the Telegraph piece I knew it was worse than that. It was deliberate hate mongering completely devoid of evidence, names and facts.

Superb job of debunking it here

US nuclear weapons with three times the power of the Hiroshima bomb have just been transported to England, new evidence suggests.

The government doesn’t want the public to know.

Here’s how Nukewatch UK tracked the bombs’ journey.

I need all of #lawsky to see this video from a Colorado appeals court livestream yesterday. I am in actual tears. Sound *incredibly* on, the subtitles will not help.

Omg.

THIS.

It's key.
15/ One final thought:

Falling for the rhetoric of Reform, MAGA or Robinson isn’t protest or rebellion and it’s NOT an anti establishment alternative.

It’s the age old story of the rich and powerful weaponising the fears of those that *they* think are stupid or easily conned, to gain more power.

Reform is a Limited Company

Farage owns 53%

It was formed in 2019 to push for a “no-deal Brexit”

It wants to reintroduce the Liz Truss budget

It wants to privatise the NHS

& invest in fossil fuels

Close the BBC

& break International law

It’s a scam

Please retweet widely

This. So disappointing.
Labour's immigration announcement today is a reflection of the paucity of honest debate by BOTH political parties over the last decade on this issue.

Labour has never made a counter-argument, or been honest about economic cost of immigration curbs, so it's stuck making Tory/Reform arguments 1/n

Something that makes this all very clear to me is how Starmer is on the record as saying the exact opposite of his current positions, just a few years ago. So what we're seeing is politics as a purely technical exercise in controlling optics, no matter who gets crushed to death in the process.

When govts stop panicking and announcing policy to “challenge” Nigel effing Farage, we may stand a chance of fixing the mess that Nigel effing Farage helped to make. Until then, we will stay stuck in this populist dead end, loudly blowing our dog whistle at the world and wondering why nothing works.

Politics ended up here because those who peddle lies have insisted on a skewed sense of impartiality where truth and a lie are presented. Truth is presented as a mid point between facts and a lie. We live in a world where those who routinely peddle lies do so to make truth appear as lies.

Hey British media,
It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning.
Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

@bsky.app is irritating me. There’s no indication of what I’ve seen or not seen - I just have to scroll down until stuff looks familiar. Why not scroll the other way, from what I’ve already seen up into new posts?
Or am I missing something?

A super Choral Evensong from our choir at All Saints Wycombe to round off the week, with a sermon based on the words of the anthem, ‘Blessed be the God and Father’.

I may be wrong, but IMO Labour is not fighting Reform well, they are trying to appease them in a way that they cannot win, while largely defending the status quo, rather than bringing the fight to them. They have 4 years for real reform, and to show Farage et Al as Putinists..

This is so.

Miserable, tedious interview from Labour chair on the radio this morning just parroting three points over and over regardless of the question.
Labour needs several million buckets of ice-cold water poured over their head and the nation's church bells ringing in unison as a very loud wake-up call. Hopefully, this is it.

People voted for hope and change and vision not Reform lite and the same old Tory shite.

Loved it all.

I feel for my trans siblings today. I’m not surprised at the clarification of existing law, but of course if anyone thinks trans people will just accept this they’ll be wrong and the law will need updating.
