Absolute nightmare with @ThomasCookUK - avoid at all costs!!
Not only is hotel not as advertised but they are incapable of dealing with problem once you are there as they use 3rd parties that still aren't responding after 5 hours!
This hotel has young kids despite this advert..

How about remembering all the #LGBT people who have died, been killed or taken their lives because of 'Christian' teaching?!
#synod @ArchbishopSarah
The 21 Coptic Christians murdered for their faith in Libya in 2015 died with the name of Jesus Christ on their lips.
Yesterday at @synod we approved plans to remember the Martyrs of Libya in @churchofengland’s calendar.
Please remember to pray and stand in solidarity with persecuted Christians around the world.

This was us having a bit of a difference of opinion a couple of years ago...

I'm both saddened & shocked to hear about the death of #AnnWiddecombe
Whilst we rarely saw eye to eye, she was a woman who stuck to her principles & wasn't afraid of speaking out, despite what she knew would be a harsh backlash.
Please pray for her family & friends at this time

I will not be supporting #GST proposals as our 'Trust Gap' dwarfs our 'Funding Gap' in #Guernsey
We must address this first by successful delivery of key projects as people judge us by our record not our rhetoric
I too have my own trust issues with the accuracy of our forecasts

Father forgive them for they DO know exactly what they do & they bloody well don't care!
The Archbishops have decided to allow the promotion of 'conversion therapy' at @synod, despite 2017 resolution to ban it
They are well aware of the significant harm these practices cause

It was so very special to have aunt (mum's sister and my Godmother) and uncle, along with Bishop Paul Bayes and Dean David Ison (both of whom helped me form my @OzanneFoundn) with me on my special day...I felt surrounded by so much love and support...
#feelingblessed

It was a huge honour to receive my OBE at Windsor Castle from the Prince of Wales, who expressed concern that #conversionpractices still occurred in UK
It was made even more special by me learning that a draft bill banning these abusive practices was to be published the next day

Just sat & listened to announcement of draft #conversionpractices bill. In floods of tears. I agree with Minister @oliviabaileymp - shame on Tories for not supporting a bill they first announced in 2018 was their 'top LGBT+ priority'. Now at least we know why it took so long...

What a couple of days!
So pleased to be at the announcement, finally, of a ban on #conversionpractices.
It's been a long road, but definitely a team effort. So pleased to be with the Minister for #Equalities, Olivia Bailey, and other key #LGBTQ campaigners to celebrate today.

BREAKING NEWS - A DRAFT BILL ON CONVERSION PRACTICES IS NOW A REALITY.
I'm in tears with joy - here is my response to this wonderful news. Still concerned about prayer being covered properly, the devil will be in the detail. Statement below

Would be very fitting as I receive my OBE (for trying to #banconversiontherapy) next week!
Keen to ensure the ban covers protecting people in religion settings...the most likely form of #conversiontherapy in UK today...
Global Interfaith Commission on LGBT Lives retweeted
EXCL: Hearing from multiple sources tonight that the government is moving at pace to announce the long-promised ban on so-called conversion therapy in the coming days.
The ban was first pledged by Theresa May but got caught up in complexities with regards to gender identity.

Hmm...someone needs to let #CentralChancery know that not all #OBE members can get married in @StPaulsLondon OBE Chapel!
I know it's a generic letter, but it is rather ironic given what I'm actually being awarded my OBE for!!
You'd have thought they'd be more sensitive by now.

Fabulous evening at @lincolnsinn #Diversity Dinner thanks to my wonderful host Brie Stevens-Hoare KC.
So good to celebrate the importance of inclusion & know that there are many senior #LGBTQ+ judges & benchers...

Very honoured to find myself in the top 50 of @Independent's 2026 Pride List - let's hope this is the year that @10DowningStreet finally #banconversionpractices
NB I'm 'a' not 'the' deputy in #Guernsey...think journalist has watched too many cowboy films!

Very disappointed to see Chamber trying to 'claim a win' they do not have - I for one, as Vice P of ESS, am committed to the necessary reforms to social security contributions, including a move to incorporating unearned income so that we spread the tax burden in a far fairer way

What a fantastic vibe at @HadestownUK last night. Really first class show & definitely worth all the hype. Having the band on stage was a real plus too...

Banning 'conversion therapy' has been in 4 Royal Speeches - 2x Tory & 2x Labour....must be a record!
Why is protecting vulnerable minorities as such a low priority - is it because they know they can get away with it?! Or is it that they just don't care?!
