[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The Christian life is not lived in isolation, confined to our minds and hearts. It is lived with others, because the Risen Christ is present among the disciples gathered in His name. We are part of a people, a body that the Lord has established. No one is a Christian alone!

[Carol Vorderman @carolvorders]

Nadhim Zahawi…. Really?
You’re posting this from Mayfair? Rough sleeping increased significantly since Tories came to power in 2010, and now you’re attempting to palm it off?

Absolutely no sense of shame
After you claimed expenses for electricity for your horses’ stables?

[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

Today, on the International Day of Charity, let’s be encouraged to live generously and find ways to come alongside and support others in need.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” - Mt 25:35-36

[Doctors of the World @DOTW_UK]

PETITION 🔴 We're asking the government to STOP forcing people seeking asylum to live in harmful mass accommodation sites.

🚑 Our mobile health clinic at Wethersfield ex-military site treats people who have survived torture, violence, persecution and extreme poverty.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Dozens of single women who came to work in the NHS and social care have been denied permission for their children to join them.

It’s an absolute travesty.

Please RT so more people can be aware of what is going on.

The final sea shanty of the trilogy 🎶⚓️(an adaptation of #Wellerman and #DrunkenSailor) inspired by @SuellaBraverman's recent speech on migration.

We stand and sing in solidarity with a different vision from #Braverman's of what our country stands for & who it should stand by🧡

All 45,000 Scouts at the World Scout Jamboree came back together for the closing ceremony today in Seoul and enjoyed performances by some of the biggest K-pop bands. Here are our favourite snaps from the event 📸 #UK25WSJ

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

Every single word Andrew says is factual and he expresses the sense of despair so many of us on the frontline feel…

This govt do not deserve to be guardians of our NHS!

Pls RT the hell out of this!

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

So the King, the Archbishop of Canterbury & a former head of the British Army have all condemned the appalling Rwanda 'policy'. It makes you wonder what these 'values' that Suella Braverman thinks she's upholding actually are...

[Martin Harper @martinstgeorge]

@BishopWorcester @RevRichardColes Sad to hear of your departure from the programme. More time to work on the next book?

[The Fellowship of St John @fellowshipsje]

I just got result 'Prayer Book Catholic' on quiz 'What Kind of Anglican Are You?'. What will you get? https://t.co/HCwnfH8ltr via @uquiz. I have never actually thought of myself as PB Catholic! Liberal catholic more accurate.

[Dr Julia Grace Patterson💙 @JujuliaGrace]

I am not ashamed of Britain.
I am not ashamed to be British.
I am deeply, deeply ashamed of our government.

RT if you agree.

[Chris Daw KC @crimlawuk]

Children trafficked to Britain as modern slaves or even for sexual exploitation will be deported with no independent assessment by the courts and no basic human rights.

Is this the sort of country we want to live in and how we want to be seen by others?

@bonnie42280294 @TommyGribbin We can be charitable to both! Why should one preclude the other?

[Armando Iannucci @Aiannucci]

Lest we need reminding, here’s a cutting from The Daily Mail in 1938.

[Esheru @Eshprojet1]

To think @LeeAndersonMP_ thinks @GaryLineker should stay out of politics. I say Gary Lineker is right. Anyone who has knowledge of 1930s Germany, will know how dangerously close this government are in parallel with the Nazis. This train of thought shouldn’t be censored.

[Any Fule kno @MaySting1]

@ZoeJardiniere @GaryLineker A hackneyed but relevant maxim;
'All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing'
Time for people to decide which side they are on, because if this sort of hateful policy is allowed to pass, it opens the doors to the far more egregious.

@GaryLineker @a_webb @secrettory12 Please keep speaking out. Evil happens when good people do nothing. No-one wants to see people putting themselves in danger in small boats - but alternative safe routes have been shut down for the majority of asylum seekers.
