"Thinking with political activist, philosopher and mystic, Simone Weil, who herself was writing during a different period of crisis in the 1930s, what those suffering need is not the offer of solutions, but to be heard."

Oddly mixed messages here from @SuellaBraverman

She advocates a 'hard line' on cannabis, 'dismayed' that 'its been decriminalised in parts of the country', literally seconds after flagging the Govt drug strategy - that endorses the diversion programs she is dismayed about.

PhD students are already overworked, underpaid, and struggling. Now — amidst a cost of living crisis — we face a real terms pay cut of over £1000.

Currently binge watching videos of Mick Lynch basically telling everyone in the media to F**K OFF & now I feel like I can take on the world!

Labour could do with some lessons in calling out bull & challenging from him

Clergy / Faith leader tweeps - many of us have spoken out against these plans, but now is the time for action. If you are able to get there and it feels safe, please show your solidarity with those detained at Brook House this Sunday, and your protest to the Home Office Monday 🙏🏼

Excited to be published alongside these voices (relatively!) soon ⭐️

The danger is we go into ‘alternatives aren’t role of church’ cul de sac. How about responding robustly to a govt that has just said ‘we can’t think of anything better than an international trade deal in human persons.’ That is a state in crisis. And that IS a theological issue

[Anna Rowlands @AnnaRowlands1]

I think target of Priti Patel comments - ‘don’t criticise, what solutions do you have?’ - is not really Archbishop, but political messaging to the rest of us: it is meant to plant idea ‘there are no alternatives’. This is what we will hear repeatedly: no alternatives. 1/3
