This week, we have watched the unedifying spectacle of factions within the Roman Catholic church hurl 'heretic' bombs at each other. Surely hatred is not a Christian virtue.

Wow! This unearthed video of Trump from 2008 will absolutely make your head spin.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

This week, I'm leading a Parliamentary debate on banning MPs' second jobs.

Nigel Farage has already taken over £1 Million from second jobs since becoming an MP.

I've invited him to attend the debate to explain why MPs should be allowed to rake in vast sums from second jobs.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly furious that the annual ranking of US presidents by a committee of 50 top presidential historians was released today, and the committee almost unanimously ranked Trump’s second term as the worst in US history.

@BarackObama @MichelleObama Cross-party friendships at the top level inspire and give hope to the whole world. You all are wonderful role models and worthy Presidents.

[Holy Radical @jsgilbertwriter]

Cross-party friendships at the top level are wonderful. Such great role models.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

Michael Caine "I voted for Brexit... I'd rather be a poor master than a rich servant... You get lost, and then you find your way, and it will be alright."

This Brexiteer lived in LA, has never been a poor anything, and there are zero consequences for his actions on him.

Palantir's co-founder claimed "the NHS makes people sick".

Yet this US tech giant now runs the NHS data platform.

There are serious concerns about its access to patient data and human rights record.

The Government should use the break clause to kick Palantir out of our NHS.

Israeli settlers attack the village of Taybeh, setting fields on fire and throwing Molotov cocktails at homes.

Lots of road blocks and some violence in NI. The attack was awful but street violence isn’t a solution. Praying for calm. Here is the scene in Coleraine.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

At times we experience the night of faith, the weariness of believing, the fatigue of the spirit, a sense of inadequacy in the face of the Gospel’s call, the bitterness of our failures. These nights are a time of blessing and a place for rebirth. #ApostolicJourney

The people of Belfast have shown real courage when it comes to eradicating terrorism. Sad that they are confronted with violence yet again.
