Whenever Christianity is co-opted to support violence, misogyny or racism it loses its very soul. Here’s the letter I & a group of friends wrote over the last few days, was signed by senior church leaders across denominations & published by The Sunday Times & Sunday Mirror today.

🧵 of posts where people are (re-)considering faith after recent events. Let me know what I should add… Let’s start with @Glinner whose free speech cost him his freedom a fortnight ago, how does #ripcharliekirk impact him?
Now I want to read CS Lewis and other Christian writers. (#ripcharliekirk) Chesterton too if one can wave the smell of his then-fashionable (and fashionable again!) antisemitism off the pages

What a sad day and a sad week
Credit to Diane Abbott, she has been a voice of reason on assisted dying: "What could be more unjust than losing your life to poorly drafted legislation… …if the police fail to spot coersion during domestic violence…can they spot coersion during an assisted dying situation?"

Marc Guehi says the 'Jesus loves you' message he wrote on his rainbow armband was one of "truth and love and inclusivity". #BBCFootball

This, from the Spectator’s leader on assisted dying, is absolutely chilling

Train wreck interview, showing that claimed safeguards for assisted dying in the UK are bogus.
“How would anyone know if someone had been coerced [into assisted dying]?” @vicderbyshire presses Christine Jardine, Lib Dem MP for Edinburgh West and supporter of the latest assisted dying bill, about the safeguards for the proposed new law. #Newsnight

Why can’t Britain build anything anymore? The news this week of the £100m ‘bat tunnel’ gave us some clues. Here’s the story of this tunnel, which has been 12 years in the making, and some thoughts on what it tells us

This is what a 15 foot storm surge looks like. Parts of Florida could see a 20 foot storm surge in the next day or two as #HurricaneHelene slams into the area as a category 4 hurricane.

Start your day with Phil Collins strolling around the stage like he’s speaking at a tech conference before hitting one of the most iconic drum fills ever

Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better? The smirk of a male who’s knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered. #Paris2024
