If Trump was President in 1940

REPORTER: You would agree it's never acceptable to assault police officers?

TRUMP: Sure

REPORTER: Among those you pardoned is a guy who used a stun gun on a police officer. Why does he deserve a pardon?

TRUMP: Well, I don't know

[The Associated Press @AP]

At the inaugural prayer service, the Right Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, made a direct appeal to President Donald Trump to have mercy on the LGBTQ+ community and undocumented migrant workers.

Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.

Deeply saddened by the death of Geoffrey Tattersall, our former Diocesan Chancellor. He served the @churchofengland from parish to national level with great distinction. His wise judgement and gentle humour from the chair defused many a tricky session of the General Synod.

Dame Maggie Smith has died, aged 89. In 1993, she spoke graciously to Barry Norman about her stellar reputation in a business where even works by Chekhov could still receive a 'thank you...' letter.

Magisterial. A true British icon.

There'll never be another like Dame Maggie Smith | 1934 - 2024

[Gyles Brandreth @GylesB1]

The saddest news: the death of Dame Maggie Smith marks the end of a golden era & a quite extraordinary life. She was a truly great actress, “one of the greats” & simply the best company: wise, witty, waspish, wonderful. One of a kind in every way & consequently irreplaceable.

A message of condolence from His Majesty The King following the passing of Dame Maggie Smith.

A true British icon. Thank you for everything, Dame Maggie Smith.

This is the absolute level of rank ignorance we are dealing with…

The big point about going to university is not about getting a big salary. We need to look at the whole of higher ed again. Apprenticeships have a far worse dropout rate than uni courses. Many are excellent but not a magic bullet.

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

This “mickey mouse” degree discourse we keep seeing is deeply bizarre. It fails to recognise that the expansion of higher education in Britain has been one of the great social successes of the last few decades, a boon to working class social mobility and regional levelling up.

The way that some newspapers are slipping back into the homophobic ‘brainwashing kids’ narrative from the days of Section 28 is terrifying.

@Otto_English These people have little to no comprehension of the justice system.

The very same kind of solicitors stood up for the victims of the Post Office scandal. We either want a healthy and functioning justice system or not. It's not a pick and choose.
