Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

You have to admire the dexterity with which Mr Zahawi has picked up the vocabulary of the New Right. He of course was only 11 when he arrived as a refugee, but presumably had he been five years older, he too would've been of 'fighting age'.
Nadhim Zahawi@nadhimzahawi

8,500 illegal crossings since January, mostly young men of fighting age. That’s 8,500 homes or hotel rooms, and a growing national security risk. If this isn’t a national emergency, what is? Where is the urgency from the PM, Home Secretary and Parliament? Britain cannot keep sleepwalking into decline. Only @reformparty_uk is willing to confront this self-harm. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽💔

Beautiful village of Ayot St Lawrence. Apparently the 18th century owner of Ayot House partially demolished the old church when he built his neoclassical one! The v good pub may once have served as monastic quarters. And George Bernard Shaw’s lovely home was originally a Rectory

It is insulting to every working class family to suggest that it’s somehow part of our culture to be vile, nasty and sexist and that anyone appalled at the Reform candidate in Makerfield’s comments is somekind of middle class pearl clutcher.

Early jaunt to Wivenhoe for a dog walk through the woods and back along the river. Coffee and back home by 11.30am. Branoc thought the river looked inviting but only made it to the mud and just about scrambled out. Now hosed down and drying under the wisteria.

Who writes this rubbish, and who commissions it? Takes me about a minute to book a slot at the recycling centre, the staff are really helpful and not needing to queue is a real bonus. thetimes.com/comment/column…

From 1990 until 2001 Sir Alex won 20 trophies the same as Pep All this was done while only being the 10th highest spender in England, this included 3 European trophies in a time that Italy & Spain had superior money to English sides. This all came after Sir Alex took over a broken and failing institution in Man United which he spend years fixing and rebuilding from the bottom up. The idea that any reason “baffles” you Jamie is absolutely ridiculous especially when Pep’s success is on the back of 115 allegations that Man City build their finances to fund Pep fraudulently.

Today we celebrate Pentecost while our sisters and brothers in Ukraine have endured a night full of a different experience of rushing wind and tongues of fire. Lord have mercy.
Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦@jurgen_nauditt

Massive Russian attacks against Ukraine. Exclusively civilian targets and infrastructure were attacked—something Russia will, as always, deny. The ceiling at the Lukyanivska metro station has collapsed; those seeking shelter can barely breathe. The market in Lukyanivka is on fire as a result of the Russian attack. In Poland, air defenses have been placed on high alert, and NATO fighter jets have scrambled—not to help, but merely to take a few photos for the family album. Death, destruction, suffering. For over four years, Europe has done nothing but watch.

Horrific. Morning footage from Kyiv Ukraine after Russia poured ballistic missiles on civilian neighborhoods, targeting apartment buildings, schools, markets, and bomb shelters full of people. Video: @radiosvoboda's reporter Serhii Nuzhnenko.

As a Manchester Utd supporter and fan of Maguire I call this what it is, a vile racist attack on an England player. This has no place in the game and must be challenged. Don’t forget the abuse hurled at Rashford, Saka & Sancho after Euro 2020.
Lucy White@lucyjaynewhite1

Harry Maguire, who is English and Northern Irish… … has been demographically replaced in the England World Cup team by an African named ‘Addji Keaninkin Marc-Israel Guéh’ born in Ivory Coast. What’s the point in a ‘national’ football team if someone who is NOT from that nation can join? Maguire should play for England. Guéh should play for Ivory Coast. Common sense. I’m sure Maguire isn’t even allowed to contest this decision because, as his shirt says in the photo below, ‘no room for racism’.

As a tax lawyer, let me tell you that this is a mad policy. Deeply unfair between taxpayers with no common sense basis. Pure bribery. Why should you pay less tax than your neighbour who's hours are contracted but you do regular 'overtime' ? Ridiculous.

Breaking news - a politician actually proposes to cut tax. Reform UK will stop taking workers for mugs and ban tax on overtime. Robert Jenrick writes for us on Reform UK's new policy...✏️ thesun.co.uk/news/39197128/…

This is an official government account in a democracy. This is what Orbanism looks like. The president bragging, via AI video, that he forced a comedian who mocked him off the air and ‘into the trash’.

Sacre Bleus. Compelling viewing of French mutiny at WC2010. Domenech spectacularly lacking self-awareness. Evra, Gallas, Duluc impressive contributors. Sympathy for players. But…I was in Paris when Henry handled. Irish eyes will devour this meltdown. Epic netflix.com/gb/title/81728…

Collapsing immigration has seen a narrative switch - to 'alarming exodus of Brits'. In fact, the outflow - in both total and age composition - has been remarkably steady. Brits and Kiwis have long been massive wanderers. From Table 7a.

@MadsDavies I remember Alan Wilson once posting a profile video for a parish where they walked around talking about their ministry & mission but with the space for a person amongst them, asking could this be you? It was a few years ago but it made an impact at the time.

Please let me know if you've had a GOOD experience of getting help writing your job advert or parish profile! There seems to be quite a lot online (eg: "How to write a successful parish profile"). Are there particularly good ones or an Archdeacon/person at diocese who helped?
Madeleine Davies@MadsDavies

Help! I'm writing something on adverts for clergy jobs. Looking for views on - What makes a good ad/parish profile - What makes a bad ad/parish profile - For PCC members and others, was it difficult to draw such things up? Did you need more help? Image: CT Ads Team circa 1964

@MadsDavies And encourage parishes to avoid wasting space on the givens in adverts e.g. Are you a person of prayer? Do you have a pastoral concern/heart for people? Every potential application should be saying yes to that! 3/2

@MadsDavies In the past we've offered to help parishes set up a website to promote their profile. One of the most attractive approaches for a team ministry was each church filming a short video explaining their unique place in the team. Key issue I ask 'what's your USP'. 2/2
