Thank you to Fr Biggerstaff for a rousing sermon at our High Mass yesterday. We hope to publish the text soon.

@Telegraph How would he feel if Trump was writing the laws for Canada? Because it’s exactly that principle with the EU.
English
Mark Carney said that, a decade on from Brexit, the UK was still “trying to undo what people didn’t think they were voting for” as he warned against holding a vote on Alberta’s independence from Canada

@GBNEWS A fundamental misreading, AI has the untold potential to create poverty and inequality, that jobs once done by people are replaced by AI and for that, it’s a major problem in addition AI creating truth that’s in fact a lie.

@FormerylNurgle @implausibleblog An open goal for investment in apprenticeships and vocational training. Instead of causing a generation starting their career in debt why not earn and learn in apprenticeship?
English
@implausibleblog This was always going to be the consequence of the visa changes.
Next, collapse of the NHS and care system

@PeterStefanovi2 The future of education lies not with universities but rather with apprenticeships and polytechnics. Vocational training has collapsed from 250,000 a year in the 1970s to 50,000 a year at present. To be blunt we’d be considerably better off if less people went to uni.

Pope Leo XIV has warned about the risks and misuse of AI in his first encyclical, an official public letter presented to an audience of bishops, and has called for better regulation and education around artificial intelligence.
English
@JeremyVineOn5 Absolutely not, the single currency was and still is, the European project’s Achilles Heel. The economic conditions in the 90s (by choice) led to the unemployment rate in Germany and Italy at 10%.
English
Would you swap the pound for the Euro in order to rejoin the EU?
It's a condition demanded by an EU chief after Labour challengers Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham put a return to the bloc back on the agenda.
Is scrapping sterling a price worth paying?

'Water privatisation...will go very successfully indeed'
Thatcher actually said that, back in 1989.

@CatholicArena I think the word staunch Europhile should be included in the description of the late Christopher Hitchens.
English
Christopher Hitchens, a glutton and a warmonger, led a one man mission to destroy the reputation of Mother Teresa because he simply couldn't comprehend the idea that someone could be so good and charitable without asking for anything in return
Secretary Marco Rubio@SecRubio
Mother Teresa left a tremendous legacy of compassion and service. I was honored to visit the Missionaries of Charity today to pay homage to her legacy and to see the living example of the Catholic faith in action.
English
@M_P_Hazell I’d argue respectfully that anything under 300 pages is fairly short.
English
So much for the hope that «Magnifica humanitas» might be a short(er) encyclical that stands a chance of actually being read... ugh... 🤦
Mark Brumley@mabrumley
Pope Leo XIV provides a compelling Christian response to the rise of digital technocracy, showing how faith, reason, and Catholic social teaching can guide us through rapid technological change and ethical use of AI. Preorder a deluxe hardcover edition at ignatius.com.

@_ConnieShaw Noël Coward summed it up perfectly in the film ‘The Italian Job’. ‘Some places to an Englishman are sacred.’

If you could ask this lot anything, what would you ask them? 🤗
“Bring something to hold like a sign or a dirty toilet brush…” to “signify your disgust at systemic cistern segregation” — ie the fact that women now have single sex spaces

475 years ago today, on 23rd May 1551, our Holy Father St Philip was ordained priest at San Tommaso in Parione.
St John Henry Newman, in his litany of St Philip, calls him ‘Gemma sacerdotum’ - ‘Choicest of priests’.
English
Of course the right conclusion. But does Burnham believe anything for more than 5 minutes? U-turns on women, EU, immigration: should Makerfield working class be flattered at his opportunist desperation to get their votes or indignantly distrustful of any promises he ever makes?
Stats for Lefties 🍉🏳️⚧️@LeftieStats
🚨BREAKING | Burnham has abandoned his support for trans rights in his latest u-turn, backing EHRC guidance and the 2025 Supreme Court ruling. At a campaign launch, he said: "The time has come to take the Supreme Court ruling and the guidance and implement it" (Via @Telegraph)

@ChristandGuitar @douglassmackey I am fallen, my inherent nature is fallen, I sin. I needed baptism, I need confession here and there. I have to endure the Labour of the world and the hope of eternal life. I must suffer.
English
@douglassmackey This is unfortunately one of the downfalls of belonging to a church that teaches that people must be a part of their church to be saved. People inevitably believe that just claiming membership is enough.
English
If you’re a Catholic, be a Catholic.
If you’re not a Catholic, don’t pretend to be a Catholic.
Breitbart News@BreitbartNews
Stephen Colbert, a professed Catholic, says he believes that when we die, "there is some continuance of some kind. But it’s like a dispersion of the self into some other greater being. And I don’t have any other feelings beyond that.” This sounds more like the Gnostic concept of the Pleroma than the Catholic doctrine of Heaven.
English
@lukejcr The blunt truth is people like that are your people (Labour people and probably voted Labour for a big fraction of the elections he was eligible) and the party has ‘lost’ these people, upset these people and they forged an unlikely coalition with former Tories in Reform.
English
Labour: tackling violence against women and girls.
Reform: would dish out peerages for shouting at women in the street.
Grim.
Zia Yusuf@ZiaYusufUK
Could this legendary gentleman please get in touch. A future Reform government would like to give him a peerage for this outstanding public service. He can do similar to all the crooks currently sitting in the House of Lords!
English
@RyanShorthouse I’m not in anyway saying his manner or tone is something I agree with, Gillian Duffy was a perfect example of how the public aught to come across towards the political class, albeit he does reflect the mood of a significant portion of Britain under this government.
English
Robert, he was rude. He swore at her, shouted at her and interrupted her.
If someone in Newark spoke like that to you, I’d tell them to mind their manners.
In fact, I’m pretty sure most people in Newark would call him a prat for behaving like that.
Robert Jenrick@RobertJenrick
He sounds British to me, Rachel! Good for him. This reaction explains why Reeves rarely leaves her bunker in Westminster.
