I’ll be joining @talksport.com radio at 12.15 to talk about the Gary Neville video & the hysterical backlash to it that seems to be the norm now, when anyone involved in football dares to express a nuanced or humanitarian opinion.

Fellow football fans tune in 😊😊

The Intelligence & Security Committee's Stewart Hosie said the government didn't investigate alleged Russian interference in the Brexit vote, and no one wanted to touch this "with a ten-foot pole".

Well done to the Royal Marines!

They have successfully taken part in a dramatic counter-drugs interception of boats traveling at 40 knots across the Gult of Oman.

From helicopters a direct sniper shot was made into a boat engine,to knock it out.

They seized £35m of drugs, including heroin.

It comes as the latest in a series of drug seizures by the Royal Navy in the Gulf region.

Happy Sunday everyone, we hope you have a wonderful day, whatever you choose to do 💜

Image of a landscape with the words: Sunday Thought for the Day:
You don’t need faith in the supernatural to find wonder in the world. Humanism is about recognising that meaning, kindness, and connection come from us — from the way we treat one another, and the care we show for our shared home.

Whether you’re walking in the rain, making a cup of tea, or spending time with loved ones today — that’s humanism in action: finding the extraordinary in the everyday.

One small not-quite quibble here.

According to Catholic teachings, Christ is just as present in the Eucharist whether it’s being carried to detainees in a monstrance or a simple vessel.

But the monstrance is a particularly solemn and traditional way of dramatizing that presence.

Elise Wang @elisewang.bsky.social · 12h

For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance.

If Portland’s blow up animals are the right language for Portland, this is the right language for Chicago.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

He says he wants to cut taxes and increase spending by £150billion.

But before anyone has the chance to question his logic, he scuttles back to his safe space and starts raging about small boats.”
