The Government is trying to pass an anti-refugee bill that would take a wrecking ball to the right to claim asylum in the UK.

If you agree that this disgraceful bill should never become law, sign this petition to help fight the #AntiRefugeeBill! https://t.co/FumeCPfKUz

This might be one of the most significant things you will read on the decline in youth ministry in the UK church & how we might, must even, respond. ⁦@bishopSarahM⁩ ⁦@JustinWelby⁩ ⁦@nickygumbel⁩ ⁦@thegregoryCCX⁩ ⁦@BpBurnley⁩ https://t.co/2OG6xZ4kr3

🕯 DAY 1: JESUS

‘Before people can discover God as the One who saves, they need to experience God as Immanuel, the One who is with Us.’

Watch this beautiful reflection from Archbishop of York, @CottrellStephen for #ThyKingdomCome2021

[Tearfund @Tearfund]

The UK government’s decision to cut #UKAid is cruel and badly calculated. This will have dire consequences for people living in poverty, who are being hit hardest by the #COVID19 and #Climate crises. We must not forget our global community. #SaveAid

The thing that thrills me most about the #OxfordVaccine is that its transportability and low cost (thanks to the UK Gov’s funding and AstraZeneca’s agreement with Oxford University) means this will be a vaccine for the developing world, not just rich countries.

[Dr Rosena @DrRosena]

I asked the Minister to categorically assure us that no Tory donors are profiteering from the pandemic after reports emerged of a company with links to Tory donors getting £190m in Govt PPE contracts.

The Minister's response was a shocker. No attempt to answer the question.

Inspired today by the witness of John Harper - the ‘bravest man on The Titanic’ - whose last letter just sold at Sotheby’s for an eye-watering £42,000.

Dear @BorisJohnson #TheTimeIsNow to stop funding fossil fuels overseas and switch to renewables. This means more jobs in the UK & around the world, cleaner air and a healthier planet. It’s just good business! What are you waiting for?

“People we push out are often the ones whose lives are the future of our dreams” @NigPat - an elder statesman, cites William Seymour, pioneer of Pentecostalism, leader of the greatest revival of modern times barred from many churches b/c of his race @emmrd #blackhistorymonth

Today a primary school headteacher in my constituency shared the letter she’d sent to her MP about Free School Meals. It’s really powerful so I’m sharing an anonymised version with her permission. Heartbreaking and inspiring. Keep going @MarcusRashford, this matters.

I pleaded with the Conservatives to find it in their heart to ensure children don't go hungry.

Tonight they voted against our proposals for Free School Meals this Christmas.
