Lingfield Parish Church, St Peter & St Paul

Church of England Parish Church for the whole community. We are proud of our ancient church building but the real church is its people. In Southwark Diocese.

Our Home Secretary hasn’t got a clue

The UK is facing a desperate shortage of care workers with an already completely overwhelmed social care sector struggling to meet the demand for services. This plan is the very definition of self harm

[Lingfield Parish Church, St Peter & St Paul @LingfieldChurch]

Instead of providing an alternative to the far right the Labour Party is lurching more and more right. This is not what those of us who voted Labour voted for. I visit three care homes in my parish that will really struggle if this happens. 😢

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Care homes will be prevented from recruiting staff from abroad as part of an overhaul of rules to drive down net migration, Yvette Cooper has said today

You are obviously not moving in the right direction or Reform would not have had the results they did. You need to be a true choice against the far right wing not moving right wing in order to get their votes

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Most Prime Ministers would respond to these local elections with the same old excuses.

My response is simple: I get it.

We’re moving in the right direction, but people must feel the benefits of change.

I will go further and faster to make that happen.

You are no better than the Tories, you have just callously written off millions of disabled people with no care for what will happen to them. You had a real chance with the majority you have to turn around 14 years of Tory government and you have failed.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

The Tories created a system that callously wrote off millions.

Labour, the Party of work, will put it right.

The Labour Party will have blood on their hands...

You can find article after article online of young people, single parents, disabled people who have committed suicide because they couldn't afford to live or because they'd been sanctioned by DWP

This is a political choice #PIP

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

🚨 Today’s announcement is alarming.

It’s true, our social security system needs an urgent update.

But cutting disability benefits is not the way to fix it.

Disabled people are already three times more likely to face hunger. Huge cuts risk pushing more people to food banks.

[Lingfield Parish Church, St Peter & St Paul @LingfieldChurch]

@revkevwrites And so short sighted. By cutting aid we make the world a more dangerous place not a safer one. This is just the Tory party in red clothing.

Where is your source for this. I am a CofE Vicar and haven’t had anything telling me this. Had 4Carols services(2 in care homes) a Xmas Tree lighting with carols and singing Carols in local Pubs. 3 Crib services, and 4 Xmas services to come. Not one word of a Carol changed.

[Andrew Pierce @andrewpierceexc]

The @churchofengland has told vicars to edit Christmas carols for fear of causing offence. To whom? Why will Muslims care about carols? The people the church is offending are Christians. Again

[Poetry Cafe Eastbourne @PoetryCafeEB]

Join us next week for an evening of #spokenword #poetry at the Frontier Bar in Eastbourne's town centrecommunity. Grab a slot on the open mic or if you're not sure, come and listen to other local poets.
It's going to be faaaab!

I’m not sure I agree. I think the set up nationally in the CofE is a total mess. The response to victims of abuse is poor at best, they are not listened to, they are ignored. There is still a culture of protecting the church and each other by those in power.

[BOE @Boe12986]

@LingfieldChurch Safeguarding needs improving in many organisations, including the Church. Yet is still miles better than 1970s and 1980s when Smyth was most active and now we have DBS checks too

[Lingfield Parish Church, St Peter & St Paul @LingfieldChurch]

This isn’t just about Smyth but the whole mess that the National
safeguarding system is in.

[BOE @Boe12986]

@Richard59575028 @Rgt71Robert @churchofengland It was but at the end of the day he wasn't the abuser and Smyth wasn't even a priest but a barrister who ran some evangelical camps.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Leaving the ECHR could result in the UK’s trade deal with the EU being terminated because the convention is written into the 2020 Trade & Co-operation Agreement and it would also breach the Good Friday Agreement which requires that the Convention be directly enforceable in Northern Ireland. This lot are completely insane

[Joe Hardy 🇺🇦 🇪🇺♿️🐟 #RightToLove 💙 @BlokeOnWheels]

Tom Tugenhat is apparently prepared to leave the ECHR. The fact that he is supposedly the most moderate of the Tory leadership candidates and yet still ready to chuck away all our rights, demonstrates how deranged mainstream thinking in the Tory party has become.

[Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall @HughFW]

Today 5 people who care about our planet have been viciously sentenced under laws that remove our right to peaceful protest.
So I came to join those who stand in solidarity. We cannot put people behind bars for urging us to do what we know is right. #WholeTruth5

Tax Check UK is trending because it’s the Tory party press office pretending that it’s an independent verifier

Spread the word

Tax Check UK is officially yet more Tory lies
