Daughter 2: “I’m looking for the cyclops carol on YouTube.”
Me: “The cyclops carol? What do you mean?”
Daughter 2: “The cyclops carol is my favourite. I can’t find it on YouTube.”
Dad: *now confused* *trying to work out what she means* “Do you mean the calypso carol?”
Daughter 2: “Yes!”

@salvationarmyuk.bsky.social welcomes the Government’s national plan to end homelessness, which includes measures that the church and charity have been campaigning for. However, a major concern is that the Government’s target to cut rough sleeping ‘doesn’t go far enough’.

Some of the measures announced in the Autumn Budget are welcomed, for example, the ending of the two-child benefit cap. This measure aims to bring many children and families out of poverty, leading to better long term outcomes.

PMQs should be an interesting experience today… let’s see if the rumours of rebellion are felt in the chamber. When it comes to leadership contests, I echo the words of Brenda from Bristol when she heard about another general election; “Not another one!” #PMQs

“Despair”—the word used by Wes Streeting to describe the feeling of the UK. Labour promised hope, change, and reform. Instead, we have incompetence, broken systems, and a lack of action. People are laughing at the state of the UK Government. Time for talk is over, we need action.

I testify to the goodness and faithfulness of God. It doesn’t mean life easy but it means we are held by the One who has the victory.
“All my life you have been faithful,
All my life you have been so, so good.
With every breath that I am able,
I will sing of the goodness of God.”
“All my life you have been faithful,
All my life you have been so, so good.

“There is a terrible hunger for love,” Mother Teresa once said. “We all experience that in our lives ….” She added, “Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your own weakness.” Yes!☝🏼
