Universal credit 2m jobseekers will have more rigorous sanctions - if they dont take 'appropriate' work. So its going to be tougher for people who don't work and who govt thinks can. #Budget2023

@ this time let us pray for the next PM @trussliz

If you admire her pray that God’s kingdom shines through the decisions she makes.

If you disagree with what she stands for then this night lift her up in your prayers, for accountability and opposition can wait until tomorrow 🙏

If you're going to share one message today, make it this one...

We know that it can be tempting to want to cool off in the hot weather.

But, please don't swim in reservoirs, rivers, lakes and canals.

Cold water kills. It's not worth the risk
