The government need to delink electricity from gas so that consumers can benefit from the true price of renewable energy @greenjennyjones.bsky.social While the government lacks the imagination to bring down bills, do agree with more public transport

Claiming that America is a “Christian nation“ while actively creating legislation that directly harms the very people Jesus called us to serve—namely the poor, the sick, the hungry, the immigrant, and the marginalized—is the height of both religious and political hypocrisy.

Even bog standard EU membership would be much better than what we have now.
The old status quo was swept away by Brexit. We need to measure against the new status quo of being outside of the EU.
And in the dead of night we can weep into our pillows at what we once had and lost. But it's gone now.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Spring Statement is going to be a shocker in a couple of weeks time.
Every economic trend seems to be pointing in exactly the wrong direction.
Meanwhile, the bloated stinking carcass of Brexit squats in the middle of the room, actively ignored by all and sundry.

Why spend so much time looking for the speck in another’s eye when you have a plank of your own to sort?
Why so desperate to throw stones rather than be peacemakers?
Why Judge others when it means God will judge you using your standards rather than His?

A Christian follows Jesus. This involves serving others, a focus on social justice, humility, gratitude & love.
It does not include sin shaming, repent ranting, arrogance or pride.
If you use the Bible to attack, condemn or abuse others you’ve missed the point & God’s Grace

Tulsi Gabbard has regularly defended murderous dictators like Bashar al-Assad.
Pete Hegseth has promoted baseless theories about January 6th and joked that “women shouldn’t have the right to vote.”
Welcome to the idiocracy!
