🇪🇸 La Sagrada Família in Barcelona came alive for the blessing of its Tower of Jesus Christ by Pope Leo XIV.
It was a breathtaking event honoring its architect, Antoni Gaudí, on the 100th anniversary of his death.

🚨KEIR STARMER COMMITS TO CRACK DOWN ON X
Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey says it's "NOT FREE SPEECH"
Starmer agrees and says we need to crack down on X for whipping up violence
These people are insane
They're authoritarian and dangerous
They must be removed from power
Congratulations to @DesmondSwayne@UKParliament for choosing to promote such an excellent Private Members’ Bill. He deserves cross party support in @HouseofCommons and @UKHouseofLords Giving every child the best possible start in life lays sure foundations for the future of our nation.
A child’s first 1001 days - pregnancy to age two, are critical in laying their life’s foundations.
Winning the PMB was an enormous privilege. I want to unite Parliament around a world-first Bill to recognise this, and enshrine support for the 1001 critical days in law.

What happened in Belfast last night is horrific.
The authorities must reveal the identity and status of the attacker immediately.
The public are entitled to the truth.
Social media is full of "childfree" individuals celebrating their decision to be childless with glamorous holidays. Sorry but selfish choices don't build a functioning society.
I have been married for 40 years now - four children, two grandchildren. The best decision was ever made was building our family. It is an appalling shame that so many British men and women feel unable to do the same for reasons outside of their control. My generation has spectacularly failed them all. We need to own up to that, and we need to fix it.
There is finally a pro-family political party that will reverse so much of the damage done - Restore Britain.
How?
Tax breaks for parents. Let working men and women keep more of what they earn to spend how they choose. This is THE most important policy above all else. Merge tax allowances for married couples. Trust families to spend their money, not the Government.
A Restore Britain Government will front-load child benefit. Pay more in the earlier years when the help is needed. Wouldn’t cost a penny, but would mean that parents get help when they really need it buying prams, cots, nappies etc.
This would be exclusively for British children with one or two British parents.
Widen VAT exemptions for child-related items, and expand tax-deductible childcare costs.
Reducing tax obviously helps, but we need more - Restore Britain would make childcare fully tax deductible. All hours.
Regulation should be eased so that ratios aren’t so strict, with more children per adult allowed. Encourage youngsters into childcare with proper bursaries, apprenticeships and so on. Tax incentives for more nurseries/pre-schools.
Foreign children with foreign parents would not be eligible for free childcare paid for by the taxpayer.
If a healthy Brit is on benefits and refuses to work? They will not receive free childcare. You’ve got the time, look after your child. Working parents should be given the help. Not the healthy indolent.
The two-child cap would be reinstated.
If you want more children but can’t be bothered to work? That’s your problem, not the taxpayer.
Restore Britain will abolish stamp duty for British families (full policy coming soon). Priority on social housing lists. No foreign national families in social housing would free up an enormous amount of space for British men and women to build their family.
Restore Britain would overhaul spousal visas - British citizens should be able to raise their families in Britain with a foreign spouse, without being treated like criminals by the Home Office. This would be alongside the ‘red list’ to crush fraud. That is positive immigration, and should be welcomed. Restore Britain will welcome it.
IVF and fertility treatment. There should be proper investment in helping those who struggle to have children naturally. Not brutally rationed as it currently is. More rounds, more chances. This would not be offered to the entire third world as it is now - it would all be funded by simply not doing that.
A Restore Britain Government would allow parents to take their children out of school for a limited number of term-time days per year, as the parents see fit. If the child is developing well, that is a decision for the parents. A small change that will save families thousands...
Restore Britain stands with the young British men and women who want to build a family.
Most importantly, our wider plan of restoration will give them the confidence they need to have children, to bring them into the world. On tax, deportations, crime. Everything. It all needs to change to restore belief. That is our objective.
Our plan will make a family possible for millions more British men and women - this is how we Restore Britain.
Lammy is so two tier himself he can’t see the step.
Took the knee for an American criminal.
Won’t take the knee for an innocent Brit.
It’s clear where his priorities are.
Same for the rest of this government. Their bias blinds them to the stark reality.
Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.
Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.
It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.
Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West.
The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time.
@robbertleusink@gavinashenden I would suggest you are gaslighting people into not recognising the gravity of the potential excommunications. Downplaying the excommunication as 'not legitimate' etc. It's really serious stuff.
@robbertleusink@gavinashenden It seems that the questioning of legitimacy is at the heart of the issue.
Praying for reconciliation and for hearts to be aligned in the church in joyful obedience.
I am a medical doctor and I can say clearly: this is not good enough.
Henry Nowak was murdered and the police let him die.
When someone tells you they've been stabbed and are struggling to breathe, unless they pose an obvious risk to your own life, you make sure they are OK before you do anything else.
You don't pause to think about whether they might be racist, or whether they could be making it up.
There must be justice for Henry.
