@Raycrud Electric Brompton available to borrow? Or is that cheating?

Big shout out for my colleague Tatiana!

[The Association of Lifetime Lawyers @lifetimelawyers]

Congratulations Tatiana!

[Jeremy Brooks @JeremyBrooks67]

@Raycrud I hope you and Ros had one too.

250 yrs ago we transported people to Australia for being desperate and vulnerable enough to steal bread. Today we’ve decided to deport others to Rwanda for being desperate and vulnerable enough to seek safety on our shores. These responses say much more about us than about them!

@Raycrud @GrantSaw I will buy you a drink from my winnings as consolation if you like. Love from Johnny come lately

[Jeremy Brooks @JeremyBrooks67]

@Raycrud Never have I been so invested in the football- even if most of my family is French!

[Jeremy Brooks @JeremyBrooks67]

@Raycrud I had never heard of it. Was relieved with my 5.

@paulbayes I love the fact that I count as an immigrant having been born in Burundi. Funnily enough I have never been the subject of hatred and vitriol aimed at fellow immigrants. Clearly I am the right sort - or maybe just white…

The incomparable Marsh family rise to the challenge of political satire again

@ChineMcDonald And I completely know you are not saying ‘I am too distinguished to face this’ but some of the people who say you should get over yourself would never dream of saying that to a white man

[Jeremy Brooks @JeremyBrooks67]

@ChineMcDonald Awful! And you’re Chine McDonald for goodness sake! If it had been an equivalently distinguished white man who had been asked for his invitation(and it never would have been!) imagine the reaction!

@johnsonmahj Who knew there were so many words with the same first two letters and last two letters. My attempt was the same!

[Jeremy Brooks @JeremyBrooks67]

@Raycrud Wow! Seriously impressed. It took me 4 goes but would nevet have dreamed of using it as second guess!

[Jeremy Brooks @JeremyBrooks67]

@johnsonmahj Strangely at times like these, I miss being a parish priest most of all.

[Jeremy Brooks @JeremyBrooks67]

@johnsonmahj Impressive second guess!

[Jeremy Brooks @JeremyBrooks67]

@RevAndrewRumsey Thanks Andrew. As someone who has only just dared to acknowledge his place in the LGBT community because of the shame of denial that so many Christians of my generation had to endure, your words are hopeful and welcoming

[Jeremy Brooks @JeremyBrooks67]

@h3nrymartin @sanditoksvig @JustinWelby So eloquently expressed. Thank you

[Jeremy Brooks @JeremyBrooks67]

@charliebelllive @LambethConfNews @LambethConf I am not convinced that we should have been rehearsing Lambeth 1.10 in the beginning anyway. The fights over it led to division and GAFCON - why bring up all those references again?

[Jeremy Brooks @JeremyBrooks67]

@SimonGCutmore The hurt and bewilderment the Call has provoked was so unnecessary and ill-judged. We know this is an area of disagreement and the C of E pretends to be in a time of discernment about it. So why on earth produce a statement like this now?
