I've done all the listening, and praying, and supporting, and sign posting I can... And that's good and important - but these aren't problems that can be solved by a tiny LGBT inclusive church - structural change is required - and honestly? Every Christian should be pushing for it.

Honestly? Fuck the Home Office. After tonight's service I spent my evening hearing stories of how the Home Office treats Iranian Christian Converts, Nigerian Lesbians, and Indian Doctors, and the fear and pain and anxiety they're all experiencing is absolutely abhorrent and unnecessary.

People are losing the spirit of the Ides of March. It's not about just stabbing. It's about coming together to stab in groups

It's no surprise. Here's one example of why: the grant rate for initial claims from Afghanistan is 34%. The Foreign Office advises against all travel to "volatile" Afghanistan - it's a country we know is unsafe. So why would only 34% of people fleeing it need sanctuary?

De Telegraaf, the Netherlands’ largest newspaper, recently published an interview with a woman promoting €1,600 seats on private evacuation flights from Dubai. Bellingcat found that her image was likely AI-generated, and flight data suggests no such plane took off.

Such a dismal tale about the UK govt: so obsessed w competing with far-right to keep out foreigners that it won’t let in the brightest & best from war-torn countries even when they’re hand-picked by the FCDO, lest they ask to stay. Soft power sacrificed, but how many Reform voters will it convert?
