I just signed the petition calling on Rishi Sunak to drop the plans for mass bank spying powers. Will you sign too? https://t.co/ZSsWERntak via @38degrees

I just signed the petition demanding Liz Truss's honours list is scrapped. 49 days of chaos in office should not justify her promoting her friends to a lifetime seat in the Lords. Will you sign too? 250k and counting.... https://t.co/VALA7qdug7 via @38degrees

I don’t think enough people have seen this. It’s Kurt Vonnegut talking to his wife about going out to get an envelope (we’re here on earth to fart around):

Highly recommended.. @JonRCoutts thoughts on leadership are things we need to hear in this time

Bold speech from @MirandaTHolmes this morning on dioceses having to bid for national funding. "The amount of staff time and energy that goes into constantly having to develop plans for bids for new things is a huge inefficiency built into this capitalist approach to funding."

[Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough & Thornaby East @AndyMcDonaldMP]

Sainsbury's CEO Simon Roberts total pay for 2022/23 was £4.9m.

On a 40 hour week, that's over £2k/hour.

His lowest-paid workers earn just £11/hour.

I asked how on earth that's justifiable, especially during a cost of living crisis.

The silence was deafening.

🚨 TWO MARCHES IN LONDON AS RESISTANCE ESCALATES

🦺 18 are marching near Tower Hill while a group of 4 have staged a 'mini-march' at Cannon Street.

🛢️ All of them will get out of the road when our government stops trying to license new fossil fuels.

Okay, well, this is a bit brilliant. The definitive version of this gag reply:

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

So this illegal & immoral #RefugeeBanBill passes second reading, 312 to 270, trashing international law, running roughshod over human rights, & shaming us all. It’s not refugees who are threat to this country, it’s the Tory government. But opposition will only grow #StopTheBill

The “poor in spirit” are those who know they cannot rely on themselves, that they are not self-sufficient. They feel their need for God and recognize every good that comes from Him as a gift, as a grace. #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 5:1-12) #Beatitudes
