NHS staff work under enormous pressure to do the impossible. They are striking to protect their profession and their patients — and I was proud to join them on the picket line outside St. Thomas’ Hospital this morning. Solidarity!

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke!

Steve has been promoted to branch manager for trying his best. Congrats, Steve!!!

Look at this absolute professional just doing his job.

My constituent is one of six political prisoners on hunger strike, demanding the right to a fair trial and the de-proscription of Palestine Action. I have written to David Lammy to demand urgent action. The government knows the truth: the weight of history is against them.

You don't need a reason ♥️

Removing asylum support. Seizing belongings. Deporting entire families, including children. Labour are not just paving the path to a Reform government. Reform may as well already be in power. This government has no moral compass — and it should be ashamed of its inhumanity.

Steve is feeling fabulous today!

Great new open access article. 'Historical context of the experience of money and the road less travelled: the history of economic thought, Dennis Robertson’s Money, the thing positioned and the positioned thing' url: academic.oup.com/cje/article/...

The government has misled the public - and it has been caught out. www.middleeasteye.net/news/corbyn-...

Well that saves you the trouble to read those 76 pages of the Post-16 Education White Paper: the state of #UKHE & government's failure to take responsibility cannot be summarised more accurately.

As Minsky (almost) said, anyone can create Boro Bucks, the problem is getting them accepted

Steve and Brad are on a sightseeing tour of all the pubs they’ve been banned from. Seeing as that is pretty much all of them, it's going to be a long day.

#MorningPrayer Awaken us, Lord; awaken our hearts, our minds, our being, to your presence with us, and your working in our lives and in your world. Awaken us to the flow of your love, to the working of your grace, to your call upon us to build peace and establish justice for all.

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

#MorningPrayer Lord, on this World Mental Health Day, and every other day, keep us mindful of the need to care for and consider the wellbeing of all who carry a burden of long term or transient mental ill health, and to work to create healthy environments in which all may thrive.

It’s just 10 days to go until our launch event on Saturday 18 October at Teesside University and there are still a few places available - don’t miss out! Visit our website for more information and please share widely: wherecreditsdueboro.wordpress.com/events/

#MorningPrayer Keep our focus on you, Lord, that we may place our trust in your faithful love, rather than in things that are passing and temporal, however solid and secure they may seem to us. Guide us to those things which help us to encounter, reveal, and embrace your kingdom.

BREAKING NEWS: Otter has had her nails done!

Looks like the pub is closed....

#MorningPrayer Lord, give us your grace that we may respond in faithfulness to all that you entrust to our keeping. Inspire us to exercise faithful stewardship of your good earth. Inspire us to offer faithful care and compassion to all those you call us to know as our neighbours.

Einsteins theory has been proven.

"In recent weeks, Reform leader Nigel Farage has learned for sure what he must have already assumed: that nothing he says about the treatment of refugees, however far beyond the bounds of acceptability it may go, will get challenged by Keir Starmer."

Good morning. White Bellied Sea Eagle, two days ago. Two solo gigs for me this weekend. Tomorrow, Friday the 26th, Northern Star Hotel, 8.30pm. Saturday, the 27th,South Leagues Club, 6pm. Have a great day.

#MorningPrayer Grant to us, Lord, such a dedication and devotion to your mission in this world, that we may give ourselves to one another and to you, in all that we do, all that we say, and all that we are, that all whom we encounter, and all who encounter us, may know your love.

It was literally created to help criminals do crime on the dark web. Do we really need more proof than that?

Buying cryptocurrencies is not an investment in innovation. It is a bet on the growth of money laundering and shadow economies worldwide, argues Tim Congdon. bit.ly/4gChKxy

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

"Anyone who believes in infinite growth on a physically finite planet,is either mad,or an economist." David Attenborough

#MorningPrayer Grow in us, Lord, an integrity to the way of your love; bring to fruition in us a faithfulness and commitment in our relationships, that echoes your fidelity to us. As we share our love in families, friendships and with neighbours near and far, keep us true to you.

"Earlier this week, I was denied entry into Israel while on a humanitarian parliamentary delegation..." ...says a Jewish MP who has been to Israel many times. Israel is no friend of the UK nor any humanitarian principle.

Step 1: Check out our brand new website. Step 2: Book your place at our free public screening of Finding the Money in Middlesbrough on 18 October. Step 3: Start telling a different story and help us give credit where credit’s due.

#FarRight The adults and the sensible #Centrists are to blame for this. Grimes, Farage, Yaxley radicalising the masses who are broke, hopeless, jobless. Who can't see a GP - whist GP are out work. We're close to it all going up in smoke & Starmer & #Labour will be like: "How did that happen?" 🤔

The Steve bus!!!
