This is truly inspirational. It’s what we need to hear right now. Thank you Bishop Mariann Budde ❤️
Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

The dawn, even when it is cold and melancholy, never fails to shoot through my limbs as with arrows of sparkling piercing ice. I pull aside the thick curtains, and search for the first glow in the sky which shows that life is breaking through.

Why it’s time for the ultra-rich to abandon luxury—and their private jets—to save the world
Do you fancy chartering a private jet for a £1m world tour? Perhaps £62,000 on a new watch, or £89,000 on a bracelet? There is a magazine to cater to ...

Writing about Northern Ireland this morning, I am thinking about something the novelist Glen Patterson told me when I was in Belfast in October:
"Politics monopolizes language. Literature can try and claim it back.”
