Given how much Miliband, Clegg and Balls had to fear from the polls, maybe they should have voted Ukip.

@holysmoke Who is this clown? Is he the Hale who was a comedian in the Nineties? I didn’t think he was all that funny then.

In this cringe-making demonstration of folie de grandeur, a democratically elected US administration – whose policies one may or may not may deplore – is equated to dictatorships whose firing squads, Gulags and state-engineered famines left at least 20 million corpses in their wake.

I have a dogmatic belief that you and I are living through a providential moment. Just as God raised up a pope from behind the Iron Curtain to help defeat communism, God has raised up a pope from the Americas to defeat MAGA authoritarianism. I dedicate my entire heart to that mission. To paraphrase Peter: I bring neither silver nor gold to this project. I bring the greatest gifts I’ve received — my back, my mind, my heart, and my faith. I offer them in the belief that you and I were made for this moment — to be repairers of the breach. In the words of Blessed John Paul I, “I offer you the little that I have and am.” Letters from Leo is sustained entirely by readers like you. There are no corporate sponsors. No billionaire benefactors. Just ordinary people choosing to invest in something they believe matters. What it has become, with you, has been one of the great surprises of my life. So tonight I am asking you to invest in this mission. If this hour stirs the same urgency in you that it stirs in me, and you believe people of faith and goodwill must refuse to bow to the idols of fear and authoritarianism, I am asking you to join us. open.substack.com/pub/lettersfro…

@batigolis @afneil We haven’t had Brexit so how can you say it’s been a disaster?
English
@afneil It's funny/pathetic seeing Andrew Neil and Fraser Nelson trying their hardest this year to distance themselves from the utter disaster that is Brexit, and we have a responsibility to the future generations to remind them of those who cheerleaded for Brexit.
Lest we forget.

You’re a liar. Even when the truth has been presented to you, you still lie. Liars are blocked. Bye.

@afneil I completely understand you wanting to distance yourself from the utter disaster that is Brexit, but you were 1) a Brexiteer 2) Prominent And as you say, Brexit has been a drag on the UK economy, we’re just arguing the toss about the extent

@holysmoke It looks as though he’s miming drinking a cup of tea. Maybe he thinks he’s at an Anglican garden party.

Dame Sarah’s visit to the Pope is an inevitable ecumenical gesture, nothing to get worked up about. BUT… why is this Catholic bishop making the Sign of the Cross in response to her gesture of blessing? That’s not permitted.

Comment se fait-il qu'un évêque se signe quand une femme fait une bénédiction fusse-t-elle habillée en évêque ? Il reconnaît les ordres Anglicans ? Il reconnaît l'ordination des femmes ? C'est quoi ce bordel ???

This is Kayleigh Unitt.
She is running for election to the Welsh Parliament (and will likely win).
Kayleigh wants to be paid £80K per year for a job she claims to be ‘too sick’ to do.
Do not let this woman into power.

@adam_cannon @Heidi_Alexander @transportgovuk @RicHolden @BBCSimonJack Same with the doctors’ strikes.
English
The RMT is playing the system. 2 half-day strikes = 4 days of chaos for passengers, but only 2 days of lost pay for drivers. This legal loophole is making a mockery of industrial action rules.
Change the law @Heidi_Alexander @transportgovuk! 🛑⚖️

We are beyond angry this morning. Our community is being targeted, and the place where I was Bar Mitzvah’d and married is now behind a police cordon.
By allowing "hate marches" to take over London week after week, you’ve let a fever of antisemitism fester. If you actually want to protect us, stop the platitudes and address the root cause of this hatred that enables people to throw firebombs at our houses of worship. #Harrow #Antisemitism
Sadiq Khan@SadiqKhan
I remain in regular contact with the Met Police, who have stepped up resources following a series of arson attacks in north west London. There will be a significantly increased police presence in the area, including around Jewish places of worship and businesses. There is no place for anti-semitism in our city, and the perpetrators of these despicable attacks will face the full force of the law. London will always stand united against those seeking to divide us. news.met.police.uk/news/police-re…

@adam_cannon @AllisonPearson Sadiq Khan is a disgrace and for him to say Less neon stands united against those who sow division is beyond satire given how much division he’s sown. Good for you, @adam_cannon for holding this clown to account.

No, it would be disgusting beyond measure. Worst presidential candidate ever.

@holysmoke So it would be acceptable for Kamala Harris to post an image of herself as the Blessed Virgin? Would that be just funny?

Ash Sarkar declares it’s “embarrassing” to sing the national anthem. Great example of the anti-bedtime left, who are essentially just 9 years old forever.

“Many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.”
This is unbelievable bullshit. There was no threat to attack the Vatican. Anyone stupid enough to swallow such an infantile conspiracy theory has no business working for the Holy See.
Christopher Hale@ChristopherHale
UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Pope Leo XIV shelved plans to visit the United States later this year. Many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.

@holysmoke In fact Schoenberg is unique in having written fabulous music after he died. He wrote a string trio after suffering a heart attack during which he was clinically dead for a little while.
English
Schoenberg continued to write magnificent challenging music until the end of his life. Shameful tweet.

@holysmoke @drsjcostello @cathconclave @MarkElliottSmi1 Well good luck - I can’t say I’ll join you but I await your assessment with the keenest anticipation.
English
@blendosc @drsjcostello @cathconclave @MarkElliottSmi1 It’s ugly prose, isn’t it? I hope @drsjcostello had a competent copy-editor for all those books. I might take a look at one of them.
English
I gather that @drsjcostello doesn’t always insist on being called ‘Dr John Costello’. Close friends are permitted to address him as ‘Dr John’.
Unanimous Consent@uconsent
@holysmoke @drsjcostello Interesting... the jackass responded to me and blocked me from replying. Figures. This cultic idiocy was over here in the 90's. It's gone, except with the most diseased minds now.
