Feeling so sad at the news of the death of Ed Stourton.

He was a very important figure for all of us on the daily news programmes on @BBCRadio4. One of those people you're really glad to have around. All substance, minimum ego, deeply knowledgeable, totally reliable.

And he was one of the nicest of colleagues as well. He'll be missed.

1/2 The Church of England was complicit in one of the greatest crimes against humanity in history. As an institution with a moral mission it has acknowledged this and is seeking to atone through a forward-looking investment programme, Project Spire:

🚨🇳🇴 NEW: The Church of Norway has changed its Instagram profile picture to the Church of England’s after losing a bet on the World Cup quarter-final between England and Norway

[Zara Mohammed @ZaraM01]

Deeply disturbing, communities have expressed how distressed they are feeling right now. Such emboldened Islamophobia has real consequences, grateful for swift action from the police

The Equality Act was 2010. Farage has been a full-time pundit and politician for 16 years: only now does he describe it as “anti-white”.

So Reform is evolving: now deploying language of racial politics. A gamble, seeing UK has hitherto rejected this rhetoric.

[Arun Arora @RevArun]

@MichaelDugher Love and prayers Michael.

Have been speaking with a number of imams following this suspected arson attack.

Many of the imams are deeply troubled not only by this attack, but also by an increasingly concerning level of #antiMuslim sentiment more broadly.

Chilling scenes from Belfast. One leading local politician tells me that last night was “a pogrom” in a UK city.

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

I’m not going to amplify Reform’s ad by sharing it, but the wilful misrepresentation of Kemi Badenoch - selectively quoting what she said about ‘white lives matter’ - is disgraceful and dangerous.

It needs to be challenged, including by those of us who are not Conservatives.

It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy.

JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth.

STATEMENT FROM THE SIKH COMMUNITY REGARDING THE MEDIA REPORTING OF THE TRIAL RELATING TO THE TRAGIC DEATH OF HENRY NOWAK

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

22 May 2026

On behalf of Sikh organisations and communities across the country, we express our deepest condolences for the tragic loss of life, and our thoughts and prayers remain with the Nowak family and loved ones during this profoundly difficult time.

This incident as reported does not align with the Sikh faith, the Sikh community, or the principles it stands for. Sikh teachings are founded on compassion, justice, humility, responsibility, and service to humanity.

The Sikh community remains peaceful, well-integrated, and a deeply valued part of British society.

We respectfully urge everyone to allow the judicial process to proceed fairly and without prejudice, and to refrain from drawing broad assumptions or judgments about the Sikh faith or Sikh religious practices based on an individual case.

Let us remain united, stay true to our core values, and continue to reject any form of division or negativity-whether intentional or not. Together, we move forward stronger.

When hate is normalised, violence becomes more likely. Prayers for the families and communities impacted by this attack. We lament together and stand together against division and hate.
Lord have mercy.

[Qari Asim MBE @QariAsim]

Devastated by the horrific shooting at a mosque in #SanDiego that has taken three lives.
An attack on a place of worship is an attack on an entire community.Mosques must be places of peace and safety.
Prayers for victims, families & Muslims across the US

The attack on individuals in #GoldersGreen is horrific.
No one should live in fear because of who they are.

London’s Jewish community has faced a series of attacks in recent months. There must be absolutely no place for #antisemitism in our society.
