Ref has been letting a lot of borderline challenges go in this match. Ultimately he’s the one responsible for these injuries. #SaintsFC

@sophiehannahCB1 Sounds like a great event - a shame it’s not at Toppings Bath! Ely is a bit of a trek.

Cambridgeshire friends!! I’m doing this event at Toppings in Ely next Weds at 7 pm! Come along (link to book tickets below) and find out why I wrote The Opposite of Murder, & what links it to my first crime novel, Little Face, published 20 years ago…

“What makes our society a free society is the ability to call out bad behaviour, both by individuals and by the state, wherever it arises, even if those individuals or the state don't like being called out.” Stephen McQuoid

Anyone who is eager for the UK to leave the ECHR needs to realise the freedoms they are undermining. For example, Article 10 accords to ‘everyone the right to freedom of expression.’

“For the Christian, Jesus is our model in his transparency, integrity, and reliability —what we mean by truth in the person. To be witnesses to the truth we must also be faithful, abounding in grace, and dependable.
We must be like Jesus.” Neil Dickson

“The citizens of the kingdom of truth do not inhabit a self-enclosed echo chamber, but have ears open to the voice of truth: Jesus says, 'Everyon who belongs to the truth listens to my voice (Jn. 18: 37 NRSV).” Neil Dickson

Just read a really excellent article on truth in a post-truth world by Neil Dickson. Will post a link when it can be found online.

@foolishgalatian My algorithm decided I might be interested in the following Lent reading programmes. I can’t decide which is the worst…

@garethtrussell @2D0XPS @liambeadle And it’s definitely not because you favour the abolition of the monarchy Gareth? 😉
English
@2D0XPS @liambeadle I prefer the new one. It’s more readable and helps the reader to quickly identify which government they’re dealing with. 🤷♂️

This is peak yookay. A change that noone asked for but is somehow worse.

"Our problems are caused by billionaires hoarding land and property, keeping wages low and the cost of living high. It suits them that we fight amongst ourselves and point fingers at equally impoverished people." Ed Tyldesley

@Tanni_GT @soniasodha Tanni - I can categorically say that people are hugely thankful for the work that cross benchers like you are doing right now to scrutinise the Leadbeater bill! I can’t help but think it shows how important the Lords are in our democracy.
English
@soniasodha People may not like cross benchers but we come through a form of public appointment.

I'm in favour of House of Lords reform (I'd move to a chamber of experts appointed by citizens' juries/committees) but for these parliamentarians to link it to "filibustering" on assisted dying is disingenuous. I've watched many of the Friday debates, key issues are being aired.
Paul Brand@PaulBrandITV
NEW: The battle over the assisted dying bill is escalating. Now MPs and peers have established an all party parliamentary group to push for Lords reform, in part prompted by the assisted dying bill’s delay in the Lords. “Today it is clearer than ever that this institution, which dates back around 700 years and is the second largest parliamentary body on earth after the Chinese National People’s Congress, can no longer be justified in its current form.” Opponents of assisted dying say these are threats which won’t stop them scrutinising the bill in as much detail as they see fit. But supporters of assisted dying say the 1200+ amendments and likelihood that the Lords will scupper the bill are signs that the chamber needs reform. Expect this row to only become more acrimonious…
