So £5,000,000 is the amount it has taken to keep Nigel off the TV 😂

Instead of putting a price cap on what supermarkets sell. Perhaps the minimum wage needs increasing and welfare benefits too. Those benefitting from all the current chaos: oil companies, weapons manufacturers, should be the ones taxed to pay for the the governments contribution in this.

The actions of Itamar Ben-Gvir seem fully in line with everything else the Israeli government and military have been doing. I hope those Israelis that want to treat everyone humanely get run their government soon.

We should be prepared to accept transport delays and increased expense to cut funding for Russia. We should also be thankful that we are not suffering bombs and power cuts like people in Ukraine.

Not being above does not necessarily mean being below. The best helpers are those that come beside us. www.facebook.com/share/v/1H81...

Southampton must be feeling hard done by considering how Manchester City have been treated so far manchesterindependent.co.uk/manchester-c...

Some non-Christians might be surprised that there are a lot of Christians who are scientists. For some of us understanding God's creation helps us understand more about God. John Weaver is a Geologist and Christian teacher www.rpc.ox.ac.uk/research-lif...

It is not just Christianity that MAGA and other right-wingers get wrong. Alpha Male is Daddy & Alpha Female is Mummy. We now know that wolves will care for an injured member of the pack. Wolves are woke - do you want to argue with them? youtu.be/kOuer8-sIzQ?...

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

My 2 by 1 metre pond has become more of a very wet bog with shagnum moss, cotton grass, marsh marigold, flag iris, and water mint, as well as afew orher plants. A nice bathing spot for birds when it is full.

Keep these out of the UK.

Well done Angela Raynor "It's not left or right, it's right or wrong."

We still haven't learnt that cruise ships are great for spreading infections. There needs to be a better way to get people safely isolated from each other and protect the port they dock at. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Telling the leader to quit is easy when things areen't running perfectly. Finding someone better is much harder. I would like to know who and why before changes are made. The example we saw from the Tories was from bad to even worse and I have had enough of that.

If you have been watching "Believe Me" this might be of interest. Spoiler alert - it is bad news for the police. As if the TV series isn't bad news enough. It would be nice to know that our police force was more honest and efffective one day. www.lawcases.net/cases/commis...

Most succint analysis yet. This is the one Kier should read.

Roman Emperors made statues of themselves and expected to be worshipped. Bad leaders throughout history have done the same. [6 min video] bibleproject.com/videos/2nd-c...

Happy Mothers Day to all mothers out there whether you are the one who gave birth or someone who has taken on the role. Best wishes to you all.

Did Kier Starmer drive over Chris Mason's cat. He sounded so happy that Kier and Labour are having problems and leadership challenges.

An important point for the western world. Why others hate you. www.youtube.com/live/MUfxYDy...

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2026) It is exactly 10 years since I first put this animated graphic of changes in global temperature online. #ClimateSpiral It instantly went viral. People watched it over and over again. It still offers the power to shock a decade on.

Only 20 MPs asking Kier to resign is probably a good day for him. We need the party to get together and decide on more of the people friendly policies, a positive alternative to Reform 2025 Ltd.

Selfishness explains most of the bad stuff that is happening in the world. Jesus gives us a better way to live - The short version is in the Bible, Matthew chapters 5 to 7.

A good thought for every election

Even if your options are not great, vote for the least worst candidate. There are wealthy people that would prefer you didn't vote. Voting is the first step in making democracy work better.

If you are ever in Leicester - Jewry Wall museum is an 8 minute walk from the clock tower. Go down the High Street and keep going until you see the Roman wall on your right. www.jewrywall.com

Picked this up at the library today. 2 chapters in and I LOVE it.

People being people and getting together to do something for each other.

If we had had more women and a wide variety of people with disabilities designing and making decisions, the world would be better for everyone. A start has been made but we have much further to go.

With local elections next week, I am looking for parties that make doing this easier: Matthew chapter 25 verses 35 & 36 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...

I’ve been hearing so much anger and disappointment from frontline workers about the BBC investigation into fraudulent asylum claims. One of the most damning responses has come from one of the experts they interviewed, solicitor Ana Gonzalez. It’s really worth reading her response in full:

This is very lovely @primaryteachermary.bsky.social. #EduSky

Watching The Adjustment Bureau on TV - "The president can't be a loose canon." - That was 2011.

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

Farage said the NMW (£12.71/hr for 21+, £10.85/hr for 18-20) is too high. And he’s going to torch the welfare bill… Meanwhile, he’s the highest earning MP, trousering over £1M/year for not being an MP, taking foreign cash, investing in crypto with Kwarteng and just taking the piss out of everyone.

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.

They all deserve a 50% pay rise with an immediate 45% pay cut. I am sure they will be happy to accept it 😉 PS if you think they will like the result when they are next paid, do talk to your maths teacher.
