Let us #PrayTogether that, inspired by Saint Francis, we might experience our interdependence with all creatures, who are loved by God and worthy of love and respect. #PrayerIntention #ClickToPray @clicktopray_en @VaticanIHD
As a young journalist in Guyana in 1992, I remember Jimmy Carter's instrumental role in restoring democracy after 28 years of dictatorship and rigged elections. The @CarterCenter work for free and fair elections helped transform Guyana and many other nations. RIP Jimmy Carter.

Cancer makes no distinction, and we are saddened that two much-loved members of the Royal Family, who have both been outstanding supporters of cancer charities, are now being treated for this cruel disease.

PM @RishiSunak orders review into LTNs. I'm sure most motorists are environmentally conscious and use their cars only when necessary. #LTNS cause congestion, pollution and damage to the environment while creating misery for residents. Time to remove them.

Enormous privilege to have met and spoken alongside the amazing and courageous @LurataLyon at Stop Trafficking Worldwide Conference. Lurata was kidnapped, trafficked and abused but survived to tell the tale. Looking forward to reading her book Unbroken:Surviving Human Trafficking
Excellent summer reception at @10DowningStreet this evening. Good to meet and chat with PM @RishiSunak and our Party Chairman @GregHands . Looking forward to campaigning alongside many of the dedicated #Conservative volunteers I met, as we move towards elections next year.

To the man who taught me the value of hard work, public service, and love.
You're not just my dad, you're my hero.
To all the dads out there - Happy Father’s Day!

Hey @netflix whatever happened to "love is sharing a password" (your tweet on March 10th, 2017)? Don't you love your customers anymore? For a company which made over $12B in profit as of 31st March this year, this is a bit mean isn't it?
