There is something quite satisfying seeing a co-opted young adult giving his first speech at #Synod, three years after I brought, with others, a motion calling for these co-options. Still more to do, but we’re getting there.
Well done, William.
Well done, William.

The wonderful @mthrjo.bsky.social using her debut speech to admit she was wrong! 😉
A great speech on a topic I have learned much about from her: liturgy

This was the day I went into Maplin, was shocked at how much they were charging for an HDMI cable, and finally set up an Amazon account

A real pleasure to be one of the first signatures of this motion. It needs a hundred signatures to be debated and I wouldn’t be surprised if it has that by the end of this week #Synod

Arrived in Westminster for #Synod a few hours ago and loved the old Westminster Abbey covered by the new construction taking place in front of it

I always felt this story about Oliver Franks could have been about Lord Marbury
![He was made ambassador to the United States in 1948. According to an urban legend there was one minor embarrassment early in his term. In 1948, a Washington radio station contacted ambassadors in the US capital, asking what each most wished for Christmas.
The French ambassador said he would like to see peace throughout the world. The Russian ambassador wanted freedom for all people enslaved by imperialism. Sir Oliver Franks mistook the request, saying: "Well, it's very kind of you to ask. I'd quite like a box of crystallised fruit." 3]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jcr6dulut6o2hgq45yshy53o/bafkreifho4elxrxrlg3ylscli2uteglwty66z6ocm2h6jqlli3jdupgdbq@jpeg)

Imagining Prince Albert on the lash
![Did the noble Lord know the danger of setting a young man down in London with so much money in his pocket [laughter]? It was no laughing matter. It was easy to imagine, not only what might be the possible result, but what might be the probable result of such a proceeding.
He would appeal to the noble Lord, and to the House, whether the proposed grant was not more likely to interfere with the peace and happiness of her Majesty than any act that had yet been done. He thought nothing was more calculated to produce disunion between her and the Prince, than that of putting so large a sum of money into the hands of so young a man; a sum which no person could see how he could honestly and properly expend. So large a grant would promote disunion among the royal persons themselves…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jcr6dulut6o2hgq45yshy53o/bafkreidelsrk4kezvtejqznc22qrre5fkn2rvzrycq4sti3x4bfpwd3nju@jpeg)
