I might not agree with everything about the song, but I certainly believe in the power of guitars over guns. I’d rather see meaningful music influence our world than military force any day.

Thank you to @lewis_goodall, @jonsopel, and @maitlis for a brilliant year of @TheNewsAgents! 🎉 I was at @global HQ today hoping to tell you in person.

( Looking forward to coffee one day with Lewis to talk about faith and politics, too. ☕ )

Happy Christmas to you all! 🎄🎁 #Christmas    @LBC

"You're always welcome in church."

Watching #homealone as part of our Christmas tradition.
Both my foster children wanted to tell me that this was a 'good bit.'

More than 320,000 people died in Canada in 2023, and 15,300 of those deaths - about one in 20 - were medically assisted.

True strength often lies not in dull acceptance, but in quiet resistance, not in power but in courage, not in having all the answers but in asking the right questions.

Packed cinema tonight...
Have you seen #CONCLAVE
No spoilers but what did you make of it?

Looking forward to my first #thoughtfortheday on @BBCr4today
in a very long time...

Speaking about waging peace in a world full of conflict.

It is hard to argue that religion and football can't mix when we sing "God Save the King" at all England games.

I am very appreciative of @lewis_goodall's journalism.
I'm a regular listener to @TheNewsAgents.

But I think Lewis has misunderstood the way that all of us are shaped by our ultimate beliefs...

We should stop seeing net migration as a negative and see it as a net positive.

I believe there are compassionate reasons both to support the assisted dying bill and to oppose it.

I believe that given more time, we can find more common ground and some better ways to protect the vulnerable.

There are compassionate reasons on both sides of the assisted dying bill.

It's fascinating that the @guardian made this their headline news story.

It demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of democracy and epistemology....

The 1990s are enjoying a revival—from the return of baggy jeans and bucket hats to the reunion of Oasis, and, perhaps most significantly, a Labour government in power once again.
What can Tony Blair teach us about leadership today?

Those who have experienced trauma and loss are often the most compassionate and generous people I have ever met.

It's another reason welcoming refugees is good for our society .

Those that oppose welcoming refugees are often not just miserly towards immigrants they are miserly to everyone.

1,000 days since Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Ukraine fires U.S.-made long-range missiles into Russia, and

Putin approves an update to Russia’s nuclear doctrine, lowering the threshold at which it would consider a nuclear strike.

We pray for peace.

"We desire & thirst for freedom, democracy and the rule of law just like anyone else"

Joshua Wong, 28, has spent 3 yrs in prison & sentenced to 4 more as part of a mass trial in #HongKong for pro-democracy efforts
I'm deeply moved by his unwavering commitment to justice, regardless of personal cost

The @dailymail.co.uk is now fact-checking a far-right conspiracy theory about the #Southport attack.
It sickens me that from the moment of the attack, people have been using the tragedy to score political points.
