@TheWomanfredi I'm afraid 'optimistic' is probably more appropriate 😔

Inspiring!
“When even just two or three are gathered together in Christ’s name, that is still enough to get singing.”

When Victorian visionaries built parish choirs across England, they trained farm boys and tradesmen to sing the liturgy with dignity. We can do the same, argues @BijanOmrani thecritic.co.uk/how-to-start-a…

@TheWomanfredi Can't believe you'd discard Mr B so lightly after his years of faithful service 🥹

There’s many compelling reasons for me to not be in church based ministry, but right now the biggest one is that I have a fawn pug. They’re not compatible with black cassocks.

Out for dinner with my family and my daughter just got ID’d. She’s nearly 22. She forgot her ID, and so she’s drinking lemonade while I drink this:

@Times_CS the paper is not working properly on my ipad - when I tap to open an article the screen just twitches and stays on the page view

@ChChCathedralOx @CatherineCleg Have to admit I've never heard of Succentor, but very best wishes for your new ministry. 🙏

As Succentor, @CatherineCleg will work alongside the Sub Dean to plan, craft and deliver our daily services and support our mission.

William and Joseph Hooker were father and son, both Directors of the Royal Botanic Gardens here in Kew. Important, serious men. Nonetheless, because I have the humour of a young teenager, I still can’t help sniggering at this book.

@ListerLawrence Looks to me as if there is room to park it properly so he/she is just showing off.

A friend of mine has bought an EV Smart Two - does anyone know if it’s actually legal to park like this?

If you believe @justinwelby should now slip right into the background, and be silent, no public appearances, no social gatherings of the privileged, no farewell gatherings... then please like and retweet.

@TheWomanfredi @connor_naismith Absolutely right Jayne - very sorry to see this. Our MP's "confidence" is entirely misplaced.
English
Disappointed to see this, shared by my M.P acknowledging that there are legitimate concerns about safeguards but voting for the bill anyway.
You’re supposed to be one of those safeguards @connor_naismith. We don’t legislate for individuals, where choice exists in a vacuum.

Dear #WhiskySanta, please may you put Glenkinchie Distillers Ed from @MasterofMalt under my tree? I've been really good this year! masterofmalt.com/asksanta/whisk…

@MthrJacquiT @TheWomanfredi Sad if we don't see Brent any more, but entirely understandable. 😔

@redjules Thanks Jules.
Fir me at the moment, the key word comes towards the end: "lament" - don't know how else to respond right now; but I share your hope that good and positive responses will emerge in time. 🙏

@TheWomanfredi I find this argument against the current bill highly persuasive

Nobody wants people to suffer unimaginable pain & suffering. But in the name of love we can’t usher in a law which enshrines some lives as being worth less than others. The binary framing of this isn’t helpful to the discussion.
Kit Malthouse MP@kitmalthouse
I will stand four square with Kim, as will millions of people who are on the side of compassion and humanity. The law must change in the name of love.

@OurCofELike You really need to watch your spelling: Noughties. I got quite the wrong idea! 😂

Right folks it's now time for the Semi Finals of the World Cup of Naughties Worship Songs. Sadly my faves did not make it through but that's democracy for ya. Respecting the wishes of the electorate, here is Semi Final ONE:

Aaaand, as someone who actually did spend her formative years drinking Diamond White round the back of the shops, I’ll wear what the hell I like. 😂

I’m not baffled by the classism. That’s to be expected. I’m confused that a trouser suit is apparently a marker of working classness. I speak as someone with an extensive collection of colourful trouser/short suits. I thought I was being quite stylish and fancy 😆😂
English
No, really. Imagine how incredibly different the world could be.
Just a few thousand people in key seats need to get tactical and the WHOLE damn picture changes.
Edwin Hayward@edwinhayward
You have a huge decision to make on Thursday: 1) Tories in Opposition. 5 years of endless culture wars & immigrant-bashing. 2) LibDems in Opposition. Tories powerless & voiceless on the back benches. If the Tories are pushed into third, everything changes. Here's why: 1/12

@Grace__Pengelly Thanks for highlighting this. Great to have someone articulate good reasons for what I feel, but couldn't have justified by argument until now.
