This article (which you can read if you register for free @The_Tablet is so important for me. We HAVE to love our neighbour as ourselves, as Jesus said - being compassionate & treating others with respect is absolutely essential for our humanity, it is a truth & protects us all.

Just keep thinking about the difference this money would have made to children’s lives….

@PolitlcsUK I work for a #disabled persons organisation, and I can tell you that right now, an increasing number of older working people are already broken - both physically and mentally by their late 50s/early 60s. Pushing the finishing line further away is cruel and wrong. #StatePension

It wasn’t PPE failure, it was government failure. And NHS workers died whilst Lady Michelle Moan bought a yacht.

No he is not. Farage, finally, is being treated as a politician rather than a cheeky chappy commentator. He got away with so much for so long he thought he could do anything for ever. The main problem for him is that nobody thinks anyone ever gives a politician five million quid for nothing. His excuses have made it worse. And however hard Jenrick protests you just need to scroll through posts of Reform senior figures since Ann Widdecombe’s murder to see they have indeed been seeking to exploit it both to shift the narrative/avoid continuing questions over the money, and to claim they are treated unfairly by “the establishment” (basically anyone who isn’t a Farage fan) They would be wise to let the police do their job without making it harder than it already is.

The Home Office is planning to use flawed AI tech to guess the age of asylum-seeking children. A wrong decision could see vulnerable kids treated as adults and denied vital protection. Tell the govt to halt this dangerous plan. Sign here: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stop… via @38degrees

Gaudí - ‘God’s architect’ - had at times a difficult relationship with the institutional Church. Not unusual for saints, mind. Peter Stanford in @The_Tablet thetablet.co.uk/features/life-…

About time someone with some influence said it

Beautiful boy Leo is looking for a cosy home in time for Christmas as sadly his owner has passed away. Leo is very affectionate and a people cat. He loves a pet and gets on well with children. A home with no dogs please. He has lived with another cat. Leo is 6 years old. He is neutered and is both in door and outdoor cat. He likes to go outside but doesn’t usually venture far. Leo eats dry and wet food and enjoys treats too. He will sleep on the bed, sofa, a cat tree and blanket, so anywhere that is warm and comfortable. Leo would suit someone who is on their own or a family. For more information or to offer this lovely lad a forever home please email info@help2rehome.com

I would like us to remember the Lord’s words: “Truly, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me” (Mt 25:40). It is truly so! If we concretely love those who are hungry and thirsty, those without clothing, those who are sick, strangers, or prisoners, then we are loving the Lord.

Mabel is home❤️🐾 Her family are “over the moon” after their beloved spaniel was found alive after being dumped more than a hundred miles away - however her puppies remain missing😔 At 5 weeks old they desperately need their mum 😭😭

Police have located Mabel, the King Charles Spaniel who was reported as being stolen in Coney West, in Kent after she had been dropped over a fence. The four puppies’ location is still unknown, and anyone with any information is asked to contact Suffolk Police: 37/68284/25.

Work with the Royal Society showed how wrong judges can be when interpreting forensic evidence. Juries make counsel work harder to explain and clarify. These “reforms” terrify me

@ukhomeoffice Why is it temporary? If they have been given refugee status they are deemed to have suffered greatly and have good cause to come, so why do this to them? It feels like performative cruelty. How can families settle & find work and contribute to the country, as you say you want?

The UK will no longer be Illegal migrants' destination of choice: ➡️ Refugee status to become temporary ➡️ Housing and support to be removed from rule breakers ➡️ New laws and appeals process to increase removals and deportations

I cannot believe we are in the crazy situation where patients can't see a GP because there aren't enough doctors... But there are UNEMPLOYED GPs sitting at home because GP surgeries aren't given enough funding to hire them! Somebody make it make sense!!!

@Keir_Starmer @UKLabour

Gill is going down for 10.5 years but the bigger picture is that UK is still at risk. @CarolineLucas has been fighting for an inquiry into Russian interference with @allthecitizens since 2020. Why on earth would the govt deny an inquiry now?? What possible reason does it have?
