@DanLeafe1 @reformparty_uk @Conservatives No one would’ve expected it in US 🇺🇸 either. Trump promised to outlaw abortion, not abduct children and/or parents, separate families, create orphans etc. So Christians voted for him, ignoring other issues and his obviously evil character. The result is plain to see.

Will @reformparty_uk go into the next election with a manifesto commitment to reverse last night's abortion vote? Will @Conservatives go into the next election with such a manifesto commitment? These are dark times on very serious issues & people are deciding for whom to campaign

@DanLeafe1 @reformparty_uk @Conservatives In practice, rights make very little difference when a 5 year old is abducted, forcibly removed from parents, traumatised, abused, orphaned. Recourse to law (if available when the rule of law is eroded by an evil state), is too late.

@DanLeafe1 @reformparty_uk @Conservatives You said earlier that you “could suck-up many things to stop babies being killed”. I understand your point, but if Reform brought in Trump’s ICE policies & practices, it wouldn’t be you sucking them up. Those suffering would be ‘immigrant’ children, families, women & men.

@DanLeafe1 @reformparty_uk @Conservatives Yes, I understood that. But it’s not too different for a five year old abducted by ICE, or an adult shot dead by ICE is it? If Reform outlawed abortion (they won’t) but brought Trump’s policies & practices to the UK (as they openly aspire to do) would that be ok by you?

@DanLeafe1 @reformparty_uk @Conservatives My point was that you are attempting to “weigh” vulnerable lives inside the womb against other vulnerable lives outside the womb & seem to be judging that the lives of the unborn are “most vulnerable”. Why “weigh” unless to attribute relative value/worthiness of protection?

@DanLeafe1 @reformparty_uk @Conservatives So the lives of families separated & destroyed & murdered by ICE in the States are less valuable than those killed in the womb or those killed through euthanasia? Reform wants to emulate Trump’s America in the UK. Be careful what so-called ‘lesser evil’ you’re willing to tolerate

@JonathanServus @reformparty_uk @Conservatives I don't agree. It isn't a simple life vs life binary. The lives of the most vulnerable weigh much more in the balance. That is the first (and new) wrong we must agree to erradicate. Doubtless there will be more if manifestos don't tell the truth but this wrong must be dealt with.

@DanLeafe1 @reformparty_uk @Conservatives And out of the womb humans being abused (in an abhorrent multiplicity of ways) and killed? It’s impossible to weigh one destruction of human life against another. I didn’t see the recent horrifying out-of-manifesto bills coming any more than you did, but come they did.

@JonathanServus @reformparty_uk @Conservatives Well, clearly the government (who weren't in any way honest in their manifesto) can't be trusted on these issues so I'm trying to find out who might be. Then I can weigh the relevance of 'alternative v.harmful policies'- I could suck-up many things to stop babies being killed.

@DanLeafe1 @reformparty_uk @Conservatives I think I hold similar views to you on those sanctity of life issues. But I fear any manifesto commitment from the two parties you’ve tagged wouldn’t be anything other than an attempt to buy votes. And at least one of those parties would bring alternative v. harmful policies.

@JulianM39314109 @S_E_Tooth @OakHillLondon It’s also terribly sad that there’s only one woman on the @OakHillLondon Leadership Team and only one woman on the Teaching Faculty. Why? Is this a deliberate policy? There’s no shortage of gifted female Christian leaders, nor of gifted female academics in relevant fields.

Is it the case that only one member of the Oak Hill Council actually trained at the college? Is it not also the case that members of affluent conservative evangelical flagship churches such as St Helen's Bishopsgate, St Ebbe's, All Souls Langham Place and Christ Church Fulwood are over-represented on the council? How can that body oversee culture change at the college unless it has people with the experience and perspectives that enable them to step outside of the Iwernised echo chamber? oakhill.ac.uk/about/our-peop…

A year ago my lovely students organised a farewell for me. I said this: "I would have loved to be working still - every day in the classroom was an absolute delight. I'm really missing teaching and engaging with each of you." I still miss it and them.

@pciassembly Shouldn’t @pciassembly and @UnionTCollege’s Principal McClenahan be answering questions regarding what he knew & when about safeguarding failures & severe bullying & more covered up by NDAs?
Jonathan Servus@JonathanServus

@TheSundayLife Interesting that Principal Michael McClenahan of @UnionTCollege (notable for his rather testy and imperious-seeming verbal interventions at the recent PCI Special Assembly) conferred an honorary doctorate on the now disgraced PCI Moderator Gribben as recently as April 2025.

To date we’ve received 101 referrals into the ongoing investigation of safeguarding concerns within the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. DCS McKee Head of Public Protection Branch is making another appeal for people who have been affected to come forward orlo.uk/4RSqK

@nt4ox @eng_Scrptr @pciassembly It’s also worth noting that @UnionTCollege lost its affiliation to Queens University Belfast in 2021 due to other apparent failures. Applicants will want to be aware/wary - would you want a troubled institution/denomination under criminal & statutory investigation on your CV?

@nt4ox @eng_Scrptr Applicants should be wary/aware of the fact that the Presbyterian Church in Ireland @pciassembly (including Union Theological College) is currently under criminal investigation by PSNI and statutory investigation by the Charity Commission over serious safeguarding failures etc.

If Presbyterian Church in Ireland learns anything from the Catholic Church’s handling of its sex abuse crisis, it’s that peddling a ‘bad apple’ narrative as opposed to dealing with systemic failures will back fire. Managed failure isn’t an option. @pciassembly @CatholicBishops

@racingpreach @MatthewPFirth I’m a little shocked to see his new title of ‘Bishop’, but note it’s in the Free Church of England, so not quite as it appears.

@racingpreach @MatthewPFirth Interesting. He blocked me years ago when someone online publicly warned me about him and I in response took a publicly neutral but wary stance pending further information/evidence.

So I asked one very simple question of @MatthewPFirth and he lost it and blocks me.... Get a grip my brother - one tweet and he's gone... TBH speaks more of his position than mine. Nice move Bishop - hope it was a diagonal one....
