Trump claiming Sadiq Khan wants sharia law in London is longstanding far right anti Muslim propaganda that exists within certain conservative & right wing circles which should be called out. You may disagree with Khan's policies. But suggesting he's implementing sharia & "controlled by Islamists"1/2

is religious bigotry & anti-Muslim. No ifs no buts. Whatever one thinks of Khan he has been democratically elected by the good people of London THREE times. If he is not an eg of a British success story,of integration than frankly no Muslim will ever be considered to be good enough.

24hrs from now we’ll either be on our way to Wembley and just one match away from the Championship - or our season will be over and we’ll never see half the team play for us again. It could come down to very fine margins. But you know this mob will give it absolutely everything. #LOFC

Could the UK-EU Summit reset post-Brexit politics? New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. If framed as a major strategic announcement, the Summit could challenge the Farage insurgency far more effectively than Labour's 'make Brexit boring' approach: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/05/coul...

On Monday, April 28, three people knelt in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol to pray. Among them was Rev. Dr. William Barber—pastor, teacher, and tireless advocate for the poor. They weren't shouting. They weren't armed. They weren't vandalizing sacred symbols of democracy. bit.ly/3Sgh05C

I'm a bit late writing a review of @adriennebuller.bsky.social's book "The Value of a Whale". (It came out in 2022.) But I really enjoyed reading the book - and reviewing it! Buller explains why carbon markets "are doomed to continue failing". reddmonitor.substack.com/p/book-revie...

For the last few months I've been enjoying the podcasts of @disarmingl.bsky.social . Always informative & helpful, but I think last week's with Mike Bird was the best yet.

My report from last week's Notre Dame conference on #ChristianNationalism, with comments from @antheabutler.bsky.social, @kkdumez.bsky.social, @revcalebcampbell.bsky.social, @drewstrait.bsky.social, @matthewdtaylor.bsky.social & more: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/notre-dame...

Great day today at the Wilton Hunt Point-to-Point at Milborne St Andrew. Beautiful sunshine, exciting racing & met some lovely people, including Harriet Brown Racing and Watership Alpacas.

@skyejethani.bsky.social joins @revcalebcampbell.bsky.social for an exploration of the theme of justice in the Bible. His book, What if Jesus Was Serious About Justice is out now! Find the Disarming Leviathan podcast on your favorite app. @holypost.bsky.social @brazospress.bsky.social

Enjoying the surprise new single 'Alone and Still' from @tenderlash.bsky.social Terrifically gloomy goth vibes.

Enjoyed an amazing film Electronic Body Music at the equally amazing Rio Cinema in Dalston this afternoon. Dance The Mussolini!

It's a really powerful statement of a vital truth

I hope that all those who dismissed Russian interference in Brexit and Trump 9 years ago are finally realising that it wasn’t a hoax, it wasn’t exaggerated, and for all their doubts then are doing their best to make up for it now by supporting Ukraine

Happy EBM Day everyone!

Democracy means Jesus, not Caesar.

The most dangerous word in history is 'We'.

Drew Strait joins us for a conversation about how Christian Nationalism is impacting the American Church and how we can engage those giving themselves over to this movement. @drewstrait.bsky.social

#Yellowface by R. F. Kuang is the best book I’ve read so far this year. Probably last year too. It’s an old-fashioned pager turner. The narrator isn’t particularly likeable which makes a change. It’s a horror, a satire, a thriller, a detective story. I loved it. #booksky📚💙 #filmsky🎥💙 #womenauthors

Absolutely in awe of Maud Sulter, YOU ARE MY KINDRED SPIRIT at Tramway in Glasgow, what a stunning exhibition. Absolutely unsurprised but furious to see that all of her poetry is out of print. CMON! www.tramway.org/event/4e8369...

Geneva Jacuzzi and Riki take London’s MOTH Club to another world: live review and photo galleries Los Angeles-based multimedia artist Geneva Jacuzzi's shows have been described as immersive performances, often involving a psychotropic gallery of masks, costumes, confrontation, and massive art…

The U.S. is engaged in a heated debate over immigration and foreign aid, with the Trump administration taking a hardline stance. bit.ly/3QgklAJ

All in & around Manchester (city of music) tonight should head for the Soup Club to see the amazing Riki plus Geneva Jacuzzi live. It will be the best gig you go to this year.

A brilliant presentation of theatrics and performance art from Geneva Jacuzzi at The Moth Club 😀 - London, February 2025 Her 2024 album 'Triple Fire' is well worth checking out and the song 'Dry' was one of ELECTRICITYCLUB.CO.UK's 30 SONGS OF 2024 🎤🎹🎵 www.electricityclub.co.uk/geneva-jacuz...

🤦‍♂️ So Labour are making ads boasting about deportations, with Reform-style branding. Why are Labour trying to be like Farage and his mates? If only the Government put as much effort into creating a fast, fair and dignified asylum system.

We will fight any effort to normalize it because such hatred has no business being spoken in the same breath as a Jesus who preached peace. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/a-statemen...

115 things you need to know about #MCFC. But which one is your favourite?

Here's a little Friday tip from your auntie Candy. Toxic people (racists, abusers, narcissists, etc) can be nice. In fact, they will be absolute sweethearts if they want something from you. The phrase, "well he/she/they've always been nice to me" is why so many victims stay silent. Remember that.

Have you noticed that when a white person goes to live in another country he is a 'settler' but when a black person does he is a 'migrant'?

So migrants will only be able to hold high paying jobs. This means Britons will disproportionately hold low paying jobs. And what happens to unemployed migrants who have young kids born in the UK? Do we deport children too? Or leave them parentless? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

A woman painted to worship music at Trump's inauguration ball. So I added audio from the Ten Commandments and it.... works a little too well 🫠

Trump’s new world chaos offers possibilities for post-Brexit Britain. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. The UK's choice isn’t just between US & EU, it's about the new global divide, and it could finally change the stale politics of Brexit: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/02/trum...

As long as there are Maths tests in schools, there will be prayer in schools.

It's not just that doing this would be stupid, it's that it would be stupid not to do the opposite, namely to explicitly spell out that the UK needs, and is going to increasingly need, more immigration not less.

All in & around Dorchester this Saturday evening should head for Tom Brown's for a night of top notch folk country & bluegrass from the superb Jaunty band.

There are objective reasons why Brexit had failed to become a settled consensus, but it's also because Brexiters have spent the last 5 (or 8) years demanding that everyone get behind their project whilst simultaneously bitterly denouncing it as having been betrayed.
