Your regular reminder that some things take longer than a year—two year resolutions are acceptable

The look on the lady's face next to this rancid racist says it all. Another @reformparty_uk voter. #bbcqt

The most accurate honest contribution I’ve seen from an audience member ever on @bbcquestiontime it’s about time that somebody spoke out about the parallels of rhetoric between WW2 and today #bbcqt
"Migrants, illegal or legal, weren't responsible for austerity. That was the Conservative government. Migrants were not responsible for Brexit. Migrants were not responsible for Liz Truss' failure of leadership."
Brilliant audience contribution 👏

A Conservative Party spokesman says Louise Haigh “failed to behave to the standards expected of an MP", as she hadn’t thrown a lockdown party, bullied a civil servant, given a PPE contract to her mate, gone on reality TV instead of doing her job or crashed the economy

Bishop Peter Hancock received a very warm welcome when he returned to Bath and Wells to preach at the Wells Cathedral Festal Eucharist. Wonderful to see both you and Jane @PeterHancock_

The sort of thing I might have included in a drawing about the assisted dying bill, had I done one.
ALT Diagram: The sort of thing I might have included in a drawing about the assisted dying bill, had I done one. Lots of text, including discussion about different views being informed by those we love, there being religious and non-religious arguments, depiction of a slippery slope, questions about whether any safeguards truly protect the vulnerable, and whether palliative care in the uk is good enough to enable genuine choice.

Top story on @BBCRadio4 this morning - migrants in small boats. Second story ? World’s hottest year and climate change.
Any connection seen between the two ? Nope.

Imagine having to follow the EU's high product safety standards... What was the point of Brexit if we can't make toys out of depleted uranium covered in lead paint?

On my way to London this evening with a significant intray already.
It’ll take a few weeks to set up an office and employ a team, so please bear with me for a bit.
Every job will be advertised openly on w4mpjobs.org

We could say of several people who lost last night and this morning that ‘nothing in his [or her political] life became him [or her] like the leaving it’. Magnanimity is a fundamental part of decency in our politics.

A strong statement today from the Diocese of Durham, about the "nonsense" allegations made by former CofE priest Matthew Firth, and reported in today's Telegraph by Allison Pearson. Questions here for the Telegraph about due diligence. durhamdiocese.org/st-cuthber…
Read the full interview with Reverend Matthew Firth about the way the Church is a willing “conveyor belt” for baptisms for asylum seekers.
Blind eye turned to cynical systemic abuse that allows dangerous men to stay in the UK.
I refuse to be complicit in baptism dishonesty’ says Free Church of England vicar telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02…
