When Sir Bobby Robson completed his final chemotherapy session in 2007, his oncologist Dr Ruth Plummer pulled him to one side. Her department was outdated, a new cancer unit had been planned, but there was no money to equip it. Did he know anyone who could help? He took it home to his wife Elsie. She backed it without hesitation, and the phone calls started. A committee formed, and the idea emerged — use his name, build a charity around it. Bobby wasn’t comfortable with it at first. But once his name was attached, there was no going back. The target was £500,000 by summer 2008. The launch at the Copthorne Hotel was an immediate success, with Des Lynam, Bob Wilson and Jim Rosenthal all showing up out of nothing but goodwill. Seven weeks later, they’d raised £560,000. Today, the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation has raised over £20 million for cancer research. Legend. ❤️

@RestIsPolitics I have to say @campbellclaret you are wrong about this - @michaelgove has always been very opposed to assisted dying (and also abortion) and I should know as I had many a discussion about it with him. Hope that helps.

Even in the House of Lords, Lord Michael Gove finds a way to continue his Machiavellian streak.

What the caption doesn't mention is that this happened in China and these pets were stolen to be slaughtered and EATEN at a "dog meat festival." Humans can be so depraved; sometimes I think we don't deserve dogs.

Seven dogs stolen from their owners have gone viral after escaping from an illegal transport truck and making their way home. They traveled around 17 km together, led by a corgi across highways and fields, now safely back with their respective owners..🐶🐾🥺❤️

The most vulnerable in our country are no longer safe and protected. So much for human rights. How far we have fallen… Any new incoming right-leaning government must commit to overturning this.

💔BREAKING: On a sad & shameful day for our nation, the House of Lords has just voted to allow abortion UP TO BIRTH to be introduced into law. This extreme proposal will endanger women & threaten the lives of viable unborn babies.🧵1/

When I was a pre-med student at Trinity College Dublin we had an “objective” lecture on abortion from the Irish State Pathologist Prof. John Harbison. He went through in great detail how abortions are performed and how they are not the simple “procedure” commonly assumed. What takes place was so grim and horrific. One of my fellow students fainted and the female students in particular were very uncomfortable. There is a reason the harsh reality is kept under wraps. And now imagine this horror happening to a fully formed baby. We have to be better than this.
Tim Stanley@timothy_stanley

Tonight peers vote on abortion: a social justice issue. In one ward, doctors fight to save a baby. In another, they kill a baby. The difference, very often, comes down to which baby is wanted or can be afforded. Where is the equality? Where is the fairness? 1/2

A lovely piece of history as a family tale. Worth a read this Mothering Sunday.
Annemarie Ward 💜@Annemarieward

What we now call Mothering Sunday comes from an older Christian custom connected to Laetare Sunday, which falls roughly three weeks before Easter. In medieval England the day had a specific religious meaning. People were encouraged to return to their “mother church”, meaning the main church or cathedral of the area where they were baptised. It was a day of reunion with the church that had given them spiritual life. That is where the phrase mother church comes from. Over time a social custom grew up around this religious practice. Many young people in those centuries worked as domestic servants or apprentices and lived away from their families for most of the year. On this particular Sunday their employers often allowed them to travel home. They would attend church with their families and spend the day together. So two things gradually fused into one tradition. The religious idea of returning to the mother church, and the practical reality that servants were allowed home to see their actual mothers. A lovely little detail from the old custom is the Simnel cake, a fruit cake traditionally baked for the day. Servants sometimes carried it home as a gift for their mothers after the Lenten fast was briefly relaxed on that Sunday. By the nineteenth century the religious meaning had faded a little and the family element became stronger. In the twentieth century, particularly after the Second World War, the day evolved further and began to resemble the American Mother's Day, with flowers, cards and meals out. But historically the roots are unmistakably Christian and medieval. It began as a liturgical moment within Lent, a small pause in the austerity of the season when people returned to the church that had nurtured their faith. Sons and daughters still travel great distances and cross oceans to come home for a short while, to sit at the same table, share a meal, and remind one another that whatever roads we wander, there is still a place that formed us and a family that waits for us. This Mothering Sunday feels a little like that medieval tradition brought quietly back to life. My own son is home for a short visit before returning to Canada for the final year of his visa, and I cannot help thinking those servants walking the long roads home three centuries ago would understand the feeling perfectly. Some things change in the world, but the joy of having your child back under your roof, even briefly, remains one of the oldest and simplest blessings there is. 😊 #Catholic #Christian #MothersDay
