@slbsn @LeftFootLozano @forestmad80 You’re unhinged

@LeftFootLozano @forestmad80 Wrong. He’s telling me to shut up and that I’m wrong. When a) I’m not b) many people are interested even if he’s not

🚨Bournemouth's likely UEFA qualification is, perversely, about to trigger a raft of SCR issues. Champions League will be lucrative enough to fix any issues, Europa and Conference may not. Even with their huge recent trading profits, a 70% SCR cap will be very hard to comply with (both at UEFA and PL levels). Remember Bournemouth were one of the vocal dissenters to the SCR implementation. One to watch.

@PolitlcsUK Don’t think that’s how it works…

West: "If there are no leadership hopefuls who come forward tomorrow, then Monday morning, I will put my name forward to stand for the leader of the Labour Party... and begin a leadership election"

🚨 BREAKING: Ex-Minister Catherine West says she will launch a leadership challenge against Keir Starmer if the Cabinet do not remove him by Monday

@MckeanStev63537 @TT2Limited Not like 😂

@TT2Limited Moving now

NORTHBOUND: There has been an incident Northbound. Traffic is held. Apologies for any delays to your journey, we will keep you updated with further movements.

@lee_ryder Where’s the fire?

#nufc 1 Bournemouth 2. Boos ring out.

@bepeco @THEPFY2009 @_laurennn92 @Andrew_1892_ @grok how much did the Tyne tunnels cost to build and should they be paid off by now?

@DemiMagister @THEPFY2009 @_laurennn92 @Andrew_1892_ Construction costs were about £267m and there's about 40 years of interest to pay back. Their profit last year was £6.5m on revenues of £33m, so it's going to be a while for it to be paid off. I think the latest accounts will show about £220m of debt still outstanding.

Don’t think it’s spoken enough of how the Tyne Tunnel are one of the biggest scammers out there for increasing toll charges. Never known anything like this

@THEPFY2009 @_laurennn92 @Andrew_1892_ There is absolutely no way the tunnel isn’t paid off by now

@_laurennn92 @Andrew_1892_ Unfortunately, it was part of deal to build the new tunnel. It will increase by inflation + fixed % until new tunnel is paid off.

@emmet_reed @DimeFred2 Proof?

@DimeFred2 También resulta que Barrabás se llamaba Jesús, Jesus Barrabás, osea, Jesus el hijo del rabino.

— Qué guapa — Dime algo que no sepa — En el arameo, Barrabás se escribe “Bar-Abba”, que significa "Hijo del padre”. Y así mismo, a Jesús se le llamó “Hijo del Padre". ¿Entonces la gente estaba gritando inconscientemente que liberaran al Nazareno? — 😱 — 🙏🏻

Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

@superTV247 @grok what time will this broadcast in the UK?

Netflix has confirmed it will broadcast the live stream of Artemis II globally tomorrow, as it flies by the moon.

Why did John HAVE to include this in the Easter story 😭

Thank you, Tripps 🖤🤍 After four and a half years of incredible service to Newcastle United, we can confirm that Kieran Trippier will leave the club this summer when his contract expires. Kieran arrived in January 2022 with the club in the relegation zone and played a crucial role as he went on to lift the club’s first domestic trophy in 70 years.

Understand this: The movies and shows about the crucifixion have been tame when compared to what He actually went through. Even The Passion Of The Christ was forced to hold back a little in order to avoid an X rating. Crucifixion was, and still is, arguably the most excruciating death someone can experience. The night before in Gethsemane, He was sweating blood. This is known as hematidrosis. This would have caused His skin to become extremely sensitive, thus making the beatings to come even worse. The fear He felt was the beginning of His feeling the weight of our iniquities being laid on Him. Yet - in this moment, He didn’t demand that the Father take it from Him. He only asked for the cup to pass Him over if it was within the Father’s will. Up next came the Cat of Nine Tails, or a Roman Flagrum. This was a weapon with long leather “tails”, each embedded with sharp bones and metal. He was flogged 39 times as Jewish law mandated “40 minus one”, because 40 was said to kill a man. This flogging wasn’t like being punished by your father’s leather belt. Every strike tore flesh, every strike exposed muscle. Every strike exposed nerve endings. Every strike tore flesh to the bone. This would be like getting struck with razor blades over and over again, leading to hypovolemic shock from blood loss. Oh, and the crown of thorns? These weren’t rose thorns. These were thorns which were 2-3 inches long. Beaten into his skull. These thorns would have pierced his skull, tripping the trigeminal nerve, thus causing unimaginable pain and even more blood loss from the dozens of head wounds. At this point, extreme nausea and dizziness would begin to set in. What came next? Carrying the cross. Which weighed around 300lbs. This would be like carrying two full kegs on your back. Splinters and wood grating against the open flesh on His back. And He had to carry it 650 yards, or close to a half mile. Imagine carrying a log on your back after being skinned alive. Up next? He was nailed to the cross with spikes 5-7in in length. Piercing His wrists - this no doubt pierced the median nerve, causing extreme burning sensations up and down His arms. A spike was driven through his ankles - severing nerves and tendons. This would have felt like standing on broken glass every time He pushed Himself up in order to breathe. He suffered for 6 hours. His chest muscles collapsing, making every single breath a fight for life. His shoulders were dislocated, His arms stretching unnaturally long. His heart was struggling to pump blood. He was extremely dehydrated, His lips cracking. His heart more than likely literally ruptured from the stress. And on top of all of that, He had to feel a separation with the Father for a period of time in order to REALLY bear the weight of our sin. He took up this burden for ALL sin before Him, and ALL sin which came after Him. HE DID IT ALL FOR US. To free us. To defeat sin. To give us a pathway to the Kingdom. Every sin we commit is exactly why He had to do it. And the real kicker? He knew what was coming when He rode into Jerusalem … and He didn’t turn around. He kept going. For us.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

Israel must immediately repeal the discriminatory death penalty law passed today by the Knesset, as it contravenes Israel’s obligations under international law. The United Nations opposes the death penalty under all circumstances. The implementation of this new law would violate international law's prohibition of cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment. Additionally, this law further entrenches Israel’s violation of the prohibition of racial segregation and apartheid as it will exclusively apply to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Israel, who are often convicted after unfair trials.

JUST IN: Israeli Police prevented Cardinal Pizzaballa from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre today, as he went to say Mass. @LPJerusalem calls it a “grave precedent” which “constitutes a manifestly unreasonable and grossly disproportionate measure.” Full statement from @LPJerusalem below —— Joint Press Release The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and the Custody of the Holy Land Holy City of Jerusalem Palm Sunday, 29 March 2026 This morning, the Israeli Police prevented the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, His Beatitude Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, together with the Custos of the Holy Land, the Most Reverend Fr. Francesco Ielpo, OFM, the official Guardian of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, as they made their way to celebrate the Palm Sunday Mass. The two were stopped en route, while proceeding privately and without any characteristics of a procession or ceremonial act, and were compelled to turn back. As a result, and for the first time in centuries, the Heads of the Church were prevented from celebrating the Palm Sunday Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This incident is a grave precedent,and disregard the sensibilities of billions of people around the world who, during this week, look to Jerusalem. The Heads of the Churches have acted with full responsibility and, since the outset of the war, have complied with all imposed restrictions: public gatherings were cancelled, attendance was prohibited, and arrangements were made to broadcast the celebrations to hundreds of millions of faithful worldwide, who, during these days of Easter, turn their eyes to Jerusalem and to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Preventing the entry of the Cardinal and the Custos, who bear the highest ecclesiastical responsibility for the Catholic Church and the Holy Places, constitutes a manifestly unreasonable and grossly disproportionate measure. This hasty and fundamentally flawed decision, tainted by improper considerations, represents an extreme departure from basic principles of reasonableness, freedom of worship, and respect for the Status Quo. The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and the Custody of the Holy Land express their profound sorrow to the Christian faithful in the Holy Land and throughout the world that prayer on one of the most sacred days of the Christian calendar has thus been prevented.

Pope Leo XIV on Palm Sunday, forcefully denounces those who use God to justify war: “Brothers and sisters, this is our God, Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them saying “Though you make many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood.”

The wars that stain the present moment with blood are the fruit of the idolatry of power and money. Let us not grow accustomed to the clamor of weapons and images of war! #Peace is not merely a balance of power. It is the work of purified hearts, of those who see others as brothers and sisters to be protected, not enemies to be defeated. #ApostolicJourney vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

Magnificent reflection by Pope Leo XIV in Monaco today, on the Jewish leaders plot to kill Jesus: “Rather than recognizing the Nazarene as the Messiah — the long-awaited Christ — the religious leaders saw him as a threat.  As teachers of the Law, their vision was so distorted that they violated the precepts of the Law themselves.  Forgetting God’s promise to his people, they sought to kill the innocent, and behind their fear lay a desire to keep hold of power.  Although they had forgotten the Law, which commands, “Thou shalt not kill,” God did not forget the promise that would prepare the world for salvation.  His providence turned that murderous verdict into the means of revealing an act of supreme love: however wicked Caiaphas may have been, he “prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation””

Never again…

Cowards. Sideways and backwards. Dan Burn screaming at his teammates to slow it down to walking pace. Safe and pathetic. Cowardly tactics in both derbies. Cowardly performances. Underdogs FC. Cowards.
