@keithjones84 Amazing pic so clear - thanks @keithjones84 - the spire to the right is the St Michael's Pitt Street before it was bombed in 1941

@scousegary1 Great Pic - v atmospheric - is that lamp post still an old gas-lit one I wonder? It looks like it.

@charliebelllive @rev_natalie The ritualists of the 19th century just got on with it despite threats. Shouldn't we be doing the same? A little bravery perhaps? #LGBT #CoE

@RidgeOnSunday @michaelgove Sophie - Gove did not give a full account of the 'process' for appointing Lords. HOLAC decisions are purely advisory and not mandatory. @10DowningStreet is at complete liberty to reject any recommendation it makes. Passing any list on to the Palace is only with PM's agreement

[Jonathan Freedland @Freedland]

A jaw-dropper from Brexiter Steve Baker on @BBCRadio4’s PM just now: “What an extraordinary opportunity for Northern Ireland: dual access to both markets”.

Er, that “extraordinary opportunity” was available to the entire UK before Brexit

@JayneOzanne @churchofengland @guardian Thank you @JayneOzanne for continuing to stand strong for an inclusive church. You are amazing. #Guardian #LGBTQ #churchofengland

'The powers that be in the @churchofengland would like us to accept that this is just an issue of differing “points of view” with each having equal merit, despite the harm that is inflicted on the lives of #LGBT+ people.

It won’t work!' @guardian

The British choral tradition is one of the glories of music, and I am thankful to have been brought up with it as my daily bread. Wonderful to listen to the Westminster Abbey choir.

I’m surprised ⁦@thetimes⁩ published this theologically illiterate tosh today. Citing the Revelation as the words of Jesus (who said nothing about homosexuality) is bizarre.

@scousegary1 Dr Silveman was one of the doctors there then. The (not very good) dentist too - keen to take out teeth rather than fill them...lol

@pcalu @duncanshrubsole @WestminsterCath Shame on you Father. You do immense damage to the church by your total lack of nuance and pastoral sensitivity. I would like to see you give this answer to his ex wife of over 20yrs and to his four children. Consider your conscience in all of this.

Angela Hewitt received a standing ovation after her incredible performance of Couperin and Brahms last night - a brilliant start to Spotlight Chamber Concerts at the Waterloo Festival. Don’t miss out on the rest of them! Book now at https://t.co/UtNnBWiVTa
