Some of the measures announced in the Autumn Budget are welcomed, for example, the ending of the two-child benefit cap. This measure aims to bring many children and families out of poverty, leading to better long term outcomes.

PMQs should be an interesting experience today… let’s see if the rumours of rebellion are felt in the chamber. When it comes to leadership contests, I echo the words of Brenda from Bristol when she heard about another general election; “Not another one!” #PMQs

“Despair”—the word used by Wes Streeting to describe the feeling of the UK. Labour promised hope, change, and reform. Instead, we have incompetence, broken systems, and a lack of action. People are laughing at the state of the UK Government. Time for talk is over, we need action.

I testify to the goodness and faithfulness of God. It doesn’t mean life easy but it means we are held by the One who has the victory.
“All my life you have been faithful,
All my life you have been so, so good.
With every breath that I am able,
I will sing of the goodness of God.”
“All my life you have been faithful,

“There is a terrible hunger for love,” Mother Teresa once said. “We all experience that in our lives ….” She added, “Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your own weakness.” Yes!☝🏼

While officers have a lot in common with the political party conferences, I hope our difference can be felt because of the one we have ultimate faith in.

The Church is not called to label people “far right” or “liberal left.” We are called to preach the gospel, be salt & light, and stand in the gap; promoting peace, calling out hate. No slave or free, Jew or Gentile, right or left—we are one in Christ Jesus.
