Pope Leo XIV on Palm Sunday, forcefully denounces those who use God to justify war: “Brothers and sisters, this is our God, Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them saying “Though you make many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood.”

Inverclyde has been named as the most affordable council area in the UK for first-time buyers. Analysis by Nationwide suggests getting on the property ladder there costs 2.3 times the average earnings in the area. i.stv.tv/47KRaii

Israel targets a British journalist in Lebanon. The BBC: “Missile lands next to presenter” Pathetic even by its own incredibly low standards.

We're saddened to hear that former Provost David Roach has died. He was provost from 1999-2003 and a councillor from 1980-2007. Provost Drew McKenzie paid tribute to Mr Roach as a 'great ambassador for Inverclyde'. Our condolences to Mr Roach's family tinyurl.com/bdnvce57

Gary Lineker on Gaza, "It's the worst thing I have seen in my lifetime. Constant images day in, day out of children losing their lives." "But the minute you raise your voice against it you get accused of being a supporter of Hamas."

The last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained after refusing to abandon his colleagues and patients. In just one image, we see both the power of Palestinian humanity and the moral weakness of all those complicit in genocide. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

The birthplace of Jesus is not celebrating Christmas this year. Bethlehem, home to one of the world’s oldest Christian communities, is standing in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
