Such good news that the UK is rejoining Erasmus+ scheme. #Erasmus benefits our students and apprentices going out, and it will be great welcoming those coming from across the EU to study and work here 🇪🇺 #EU #StillEuropean #YesforEU #ScotlandWelcomesEU #StrongerTogether ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

Trump comparing himself to Jesus while Vance tries to lecture the actual Pope on matters theological proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the ‘Christian’ element of their support is, morally & doctrinally, about as Christian as a hula hoop. Their conduct is literally unconscionable.

I’m just so glad about how happy he’ll be and how sad they’ll be tonight.

Pope Leo XIV on Saturday called on world leaders to reject war as a means of settling their differences, urging a global commitment to peace.

Religion aside (coughs) can we just put yer man Leo in charge of the planet till we get it back on an even kilter?

This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥 Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.

Strong statement 👏 Pope Leo XIV will reportedly visit African migrants in Lampedusa on July 4th instead of attending the United States' 250th anniversary celebrations. https://www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/news/pope-leo-white-house-visit-trump-b2954559.html

PM Sanchez with all the great lines: “Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they turn up with a bucket.”

NEW: Today I’m announcing plans to deliver at least one new late-night youth club in every London borough - the biggest investment in youth clubs ever made by a Mayor. We’re bringing youth clubs back. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

She’s right

One of the most significant changes to child poverty imaginable comes into force today, with over 450k children lifted out of poverty, in a move that will be welcomed across society and all sectors. www.itv.com/news/2026-04...

Has anyone studied the psychic toll of years spent waking up to the unhinged rantings of a vicious madman who could kill us all — and then going about one’s day per usual?

Pope Leo XIV carried the cross across all fourteen stations for over an hour. The prayers named children who had been “taken away and imprisoned during protests, deported by policies devoid of compassion, shipwrecked on desperate journeys of hope, killed in war zones, and wiped out in death camps.”

Anyone who demonstrates daily contempt for their neighbours will have to justify that to God when the time comes; I wouldn't want to be in their shoes when it does.

1. Love God 2. Love thy neighbour as thyself Anyone who publicly expresses their love for God while failing to demonstrate their love for their neighbours is choosing to ignore what Christ taught them.

I want to wish all my friends around the world who are celebrating Easter a glorious weekend. For Christians, Easter is a time to reflect on the gift of Christ and his teachings to our world. For example, when asked which was the most important of the commandments, Jesus pointed to two:

Just a reminder that Keir Starmer might be crap but will never ever be as dreadful as the previous 5 prime ministers. I mean, come on.

I still don't have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder, so no, I'm afraid your email did not "find me well.”

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Every corrupt politician in the USA is doing insider trading RIGHT NOW to make millions of dollars off the bombing of children. This is sadly an evergreen post.

To #DundeeUtd fans, congrats... fair deserved winners today v Celtic. As for Celtic, I guess a result was this was bound to come along soon, but we just have to carry on. #CelticFC

Just this…😔

Pedagoo Ghlaschu 2026 - 16 May in Glasgow, always a brilliant sharing of ideas, hearing what others are trying in practice & having good professional conversations. I’ll be leading a session on Play, Pedagogy & Progression too. Would be lovely to see you there. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/pedagoo-gh...

Women deserve better. They need: - Affordable and safe health services. - Rights-based options for reproductive health. - Care that meets her unique needs. Let’s close the gap—act now. #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Gentle reminder for those idiots that want Britain to get fully involved in an illegal war in the Middle East built on a false argument around WMD, in 2003 we had an economy larger than China and could put about 60,000 servicemen and women into the field. It's history, not current affairs.

Even those who commit the most heinous of crimes ought to be safe in prison. Otherwise you're ceding justice to another convicted criminal. This should be seen as an abject failure, not some sort of triumph.

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson. Respect recognizes respect.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

For the first time, a British Sign Language rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone was performed at Anfield before Liverpool vs. West Ham ❤️

Tourette's making you shout really offensive things seems to have surprised people who have no idea what Tourette's actually is.
