Another superb programme by Cathy Fitzgerald. And Christmasy!!
Try to listen to it with the 'augmented reality' picture via the link on the Moving Pictures R4 website. Unbelievable experience. https://t.co/bndb4RIrUZ
Interesting observations on how the committee charged with scrutinising this bill is actually conducting itself. Not what you would have hoped for.
Where is the scrutiny over the assisted suicide bill? https://t.co/KQoOPHxtYO
@Adam_Creme Can RMT take action against him? Surely there is something in the rule book about discriminatory conduct, no Jewish RMT member could reasonably expect to be properly and competently represented by such a bigot
Earlier this week, Pope Francis spoke ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day to remember the horror of the Holocaust.
He urged us all to keep working to eradicate hatred and violence. @catholicEW have a number of resources available on their website ▶️ https://t.co/n82eSgGIlI
May our remembrance and condemnation of the horrible extermination of millions of Jews and people of other faiths, during the last century, help us all not forget that hatred and violence can never be justified, because it denies our very humanity. #WeRemember
Young runners take steps to fight poverty 🏃♀️🏃♂️
A month has gone by since CAFOD’s Bollington Fun Run and we're feeling nostalgic!
Francesca took on the course with her grandad, Tim. Between them, they raised a fantastic £1266! 🧵
Today the @SkiptonRiponCLP campaign team knocked on the doors in #Bentham.
The support locally for the @LabourParty continues to grow and I spoke to many disillusioned #ConservativeParty supporters who will be voting for us as they are fed up with the failure of this Government locally and nationally.
The main issue residents raised with me was about anti social behaviour, so I spoke to them about the incentives I've introduced in my role as Councillor for @SkiptonCouncil, including setting up the Community Safety Working Group, providing funding for more youth provisions and working with our local police that has already seen a reduction of anti-social behaviour in the town. These will be the same incentives I would introduce across #skipton and #Ripon as MP.

Jesus, the Saviour, comes for us just as we are, with our poverty, misery and failings and, above all, with our need to be raised up, forgiven and saved. #Advent
Great reporting by Conn (can a Brit. win a Pulitzer ?) but let’s also turn the lens on ourselves as to why we enjoy this story. Greed. Hers and ours. We are fascinated by the rich. F. Scott-Fitzgerald was wrong. The rich are exactly like us.
