Life is best measured not by d worldly possession we've acquired, but rather by d wisdom we share, d hope we inspire, d tears we wipe, and d hearts we touch.
This person who mischaracterized many (including my husband) via deceptive footnotes and faulty logic is NOW lecturing me on moral Christian behavior. To top it off, she is using moral language to encourage people to vote for a rapist.
So this tracks.
In Trump's heart there is no curiosity, no wonder, no kindness, no compassion, no lightness of spirit; only ego, rage, resentment, impulsiveness and cruelty.
You are better than him. He does not deserve your vote.
Kamala Harris speaks at Greater Emmanuel Institutional Church of God in Christ in Detroit, as Bishop J. Drew Sheard leads the congregation in prayer for her.
Nigeria's Sunday morning news shows were fantastically more open, honest and authoritative about the rise of Kemi Badenoch and the threat it poses than their British equivalents. Incomparably better.
Chris Christie makes a fantastic point today on The View.
If you're not supposed to take Donald Trump's violent rhetoric seriously...
Then why should you take plans for this country seriously?
Knowing for the past few weeks that this moment was fast approaching didn’t make it any less heartbreaking to hear the news early this morning that Janey had died.
Janey Godley truly was a force of nature, and one of the funniest people I have ever known. I was able to visit her in the hospice a couple of weeks ago and though she was fragile, she still had me in stitches.
Janey was also incredibly kind. And she made the world a better place.
A bond was forged between us in the darkest days of Covid when her famous voiceovers of my daily briefings went viral. In the toughest of times, she made people laugh - and that was precious. She did more that that though. In managing to project the serious public health messages of my briefings to a much wider audience than I would have managed alone, she helped save lives.
The photos on this post are from an event we did together last year - it was a special night.
I was so proud to call Janey a friend and will miss her hugely. My heart goes out to her family and many friends - they are in my thoughts today.
I know Frank will have been there, holding the door for her as she went - with a tear in his eye, as I have in mine. RIP my friend ❤️

Today you will hear a lot about broken Labour promises from the Conservatives. So here’s a little reminder of theirs:
David Cameron “we have absolutely no plans to raise VAT”
They raised it from 17.5% to 20%
David Cameron “I wouldn’t change child benefit, I wouldn’t means test it”
They means tested it.
David Cameron “We have no plans to scrap the educational maintenance allowance”
They scrapped it.
George Osbourne “we will reduce the deficit and get debt under control”
They didn’t.
Boris Johnson “we will build 300k homes a year”
They didn’t.
Boris Johnson “we will end rough sleeping”
They didn’t.
Theresa May “we will ban no-fault evictions”
They didn’t.
Theresa May “we will ban conversion therapy”
They didn’t.
Boris Johnson “we will not raise income tax, VAT or National insurance”
They did, to the highest levels in 70 years.
Boris Johnson “we will build 40 new hospitals”
They didn’t.
Rishi Sunak “we will cut NHS waiting lists”
They didn’t.
David Cameron “we will end child poverty”
They didn’t. In 2021/2022 1 in 3 children in the UK lived in poverty.

I don’t have a child at private school.
I don’t own or will ever inherit a mansion.
I don’t travel by private jet.
I don’t have a second home.
I’m never going to be in a position to pay capital gains tax.
So why does Sunak think I’ve been ripped off? 🤣#Budget2024
