A Christian told me Ramadan Mubarak. I smiled and said have a blessed lent. A beautiful moment of interfaith harmony. Solidarity over divisiveness, compassion over fear. If your religion requires you to hate someone. you need a new religion.
If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have deeply, deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Not satisfied with his influence in US politics, the world’s richest man is interfering in the politics of other countries. In the UK, he hails Yaxley-Lennon & has put the lives of politicians under threat.
Is there anyone in power who will stand up to him?
@thelonningsguy has a new book coming out it April. If you fancy a free copy, like or retweet this. In 48 hours, I'll select a random winner and send you the book.
“I am so glad that Jesus was born in a stable. Because my soul is so much like a stable. It is so poor and in unsatisfactory condition —yet I believe if Jesus can be born in a stable, maybe he can also be born in me.”

The Mirror and the Light was sublime and it was hard to face the end of such a remarkable character.
As a devotee of the novel I was surprised there were no ‘Now get up’ flashbacks or more of his childhood, but the emphasis on Wosley was interesting.

Beware liberal agendas that merely pay lip service to racial inequality.

Arwyddwch y ddeiseb sy'n galw ar y teulu brenhinol i roi'r gorau i elwa ar wasanaethau yr NHS, ysgolion ac elusennau. Outraged that the Royal Family are making millions from the NHS, state schools and charities? I've signed the petition calling on them to clean up their act.
Muneer Zomlot, 5, the son of my cousin, moments ago succumbed to severe wounds in his head sustained in an Israeli airstrike on his home in the north of #Gaza. I share the sorrow and pain of my family big and small as we continue the struggle to end #genocide, and for #justice and #accountability.
How about a 5% wealth tax so that austerity could be ditched, poverty could be tackled, a green revolution could be kicked off & people’s basic needs could be met?
Roedd yn hynod o ddrwg gennym fel côr glywed y newyddion trist am Dewi. Diolch am ei gyfraniad i ddiwylliant Cymru a’i gefnogaeth i’r côr. Braint a phleser oedd cael perfformio Nwy yn y Nen iddo. Rydym yn anfon ein cofion a chydymdeimlad dwysaf at Rhiannon a’r teulu.
"Most of us will never be afforded the grace of failing forward. We will never benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth."
Still goosebumping from that @MichelleObama speech at the #DNC

“Ein blaenoriaeth yn ystod y misoedd nesaf felly fydd cryfhau’r Bil drwy annog gwelliannau iddo yn ystod ei daith drwy’r Senedd er mwyn sicrhau yn y dyfodol na fydd yr un plentyn yn cael ei adael ar ôl.”

If Labour fail to act on abolishing the poverty inducing child benefit cap this week then the SNP will seek to force a vote in the Commons.
It’s the bare minimum we should expect from a Labour Government, and we’ll hold them to account until they act.
