Hmm...someone needs to let #CentralChancery know that not all #OBE members can get married in @StPaulsLondon OBE Chapel!
I know it's a generic letter, but it is rather ironic given what I'm actually being awarded my OBE for!!
You'd have thought they'd be more sensitive by now.
Fabulous evening at @lincolnsinn#Diversity Dinner thanks to my wonderful host Brie Stevens-Hoare KC.
So good to celebrate the importance of inclusion & know that there are many senior #LGBTQ+ judges & benchers...
Very honoured to find myself in the top 50 of @Independent's 2026 Pride List - let's hope this is the year that @10DowningStreet finally #banconversionpractices
NB I'm 'a' not 'the' deputy in #Guernsey...think journalist has watched too many cowboy films!

Very disappointed to see Chamber trying to 'claim a win' they do not have - I for one, as Vice P of ESS, am committed to the necessary reforms to social security contributions, including a move to incorporating unearned income so that we spread the tax burden in a far fairer way
What a fantastic vibe at @HadestownUK last night. Really first class show & definitely worth all the hype. Having the band on stage was a real plus too...
Banning 'conversion therapy' has been in 4 Royal Speeches - 2x Tory & 2x Labour....must be a record!
Why is protecting vulnerable minorities as such a low priority - is it because they know they can get away with it?! Or is it that they just don't care?!

'The uncomfortable truth is that whilst #whistleblowing is costly in any society – it can bankrupt those who dare to speak out in close-knit ones.'
...we do rather have a habit of shooting the messenger in #Guernsey or just staying silent

Leadership in action. I too find it really discourteous when people decide to have 'bilaterals' (as Macron diplomatically put it) when others are presenting.
I've noticed it tends to happen most when women or those from ethnic minorities are speaking....

This is very sad - but trying to stop human nature from the cry for intimacy never ends well.
Churches that teach that LGB members MUST be single & celibate for life do untold damage, indeed it goes against 'what is natural' in how we're lovingly created

Many congratulations to @RossLeBrun for winning the #Guernsey by-election.
I'm really pleased he's joining us in the @Govgg Chamber, his voice is an important one which we very much need to listen to & heed.
I'm really looking forward to working with him

@PremierinnCareT It's funny, @premierinn have lots of staff dealing with complaints but noone on duty able to sort a leaking air-conditioner, which dripped all down my coat all night at #hub#Edinburgh Eastmarket street...
@PremierinnCareT DM you so you can stop negative publicity? The fact no staff could help and just gave me an email address of their boss to contact 'after the weekend' shows @premierinn has no protocols in place to deal with these types of situations- which is even more alarming.
#terriblestay
Avoid #Hub@premierinn at all costs!
Reported this dripping air con unit yesterday morning after a sleepless night listening to constant drips. Came home last night to find nothing done as they can't call engineers at weekends!!
Wondered why room smelt so damp, really awful!
My thoughts & prayers are with @ArchbishopSarah today as she takes on a difficult, challenging & thankless role
I can think of noone better to lead the Communion at this time & am grateful for her empathetic nature, her steely resilience & her unwavering commitment to the Gospel
I fear this is very short-sighted
Surely we should be encouraging the elderly & vulnerable to have free flu/COVID vaccines, as they are the most at risk & so most likely to take up hospital beds & need community nursing resources?
It's a false economy in long term! #guernsey
I'm frankly really shocked that such an important Commission, whuch will impact our lives for years to come, doesn't have someone with local expertise on it.
I very much hope they will reconsider & co-opt a 6th member, of whom there are many suitable contenders.
@GuernseyPress
July 2023 - To whom can young LGBT people growing up in conservative evangelical churches turn to & how do they know they'll be heard?
Same question, same Synod - just many years on...
This 'question' probably got the biggest response of all my speeches

@churchofengland continues to abuse its vulnerable members with impunity
I strongly urge people to call for disestablishment & for churches to continue to conduct blessings to celebrate love...
#synod abandons proposals for same-sex blessing ceremonies
