The only reasonable thing for Starmer to do now is rescind his offer of a state visit to Trump.

Bishop Mariann Budde gave us a masterclass in holding political leaders to account. In her sermon at the National Cathedral, she didn't prescribe policy, but proclaimed what Christians believe & called for those values to be upheld. More of this! Kaitlyn Schiess on 🎙️Holy Post 654

Dear community, last time you helped us reach lots of new BlueSky followers. Now that we see that there is an exodus on X, it is important that these people can also find us on BlueSky for all necessary updates about Ukraine.

We keep hearing about masculinity from the Zuckerbergs of the world-- this woman has shown more courage in this 60-second clip than any of the tech billionaires have shown in recent memory as they grovel at Trump's feet.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Let’s just stop buying American products. We did it with South Africa. I’ve got zero interest in propping up an authoritarian regime. We’ve got plenty of countries we can trade with.

Last year I promised myself I would buy no more than five new items of clothing, socks and underwear excepted. I managed that easily, only buying 3 things.
I'm sticking to same 5 item limit this year.
It does make me the scruffiest Peer, in my still usable but ageing outfits, but who cares?

HMRC says it failed to collect around £500bn in tax since 2010. Others says £1,400bn.
£570bn held by UK residents in financial accounts in tax havens. Tax dodged.
Companies dodge taxes by profit shifting to low/no tax havens. No HMRC estimates.

Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train.
But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.
Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.

For Tories, Brexit was always a chance to race to the bottom, to allow employers and businesses to cut corners and costs and to scrap legislation that limited their ability to exploit us and take risks with our lives.
So relieved they’re in opposition and can’t do more harm right now.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.
But he still needed a 45% pay rise.
Like if he needs a pay cut.
