Starmer moves a picture, Rayner dances on holiday, and the right-wingers are outraged. Meanwhile: Gaza, Ukraine . . .

War is a political decision. Peace is a political decision. Sufficient international pressure could force Netanyahu & Hamas into a ceasefire - but it’s not being applied. Meanwhile, civilians suffer. Death, disease, destruction is not inevitable: it’s a choice. #Gaza #Israel

'Jesus is the incarnate correction to false views of how God works in the world.' - Richard Leonard, SJ

The brass neck here is absolutely extraordinary, the hypocrisy weapons grade, the contempt for his target audience palpable & the disingenuousness off the charts… No wonder he’s a front runner to be the next Tory leader.

Unbelievable gaslighting. Who was a Home Office Minister? Which party was in power for the last 14 years. #shameless

However much you oppose only giving the winter fuel allowance to those on pension credit, pause to gasp at jaw-dropping hypocrisy of Tory crocodile tears in the Commons today: no tears when Osborne cut benefits for the very poorest children by £37bn

'We cannot get around the teaching of Jesus to love our enemies if we are to follow him faithfully. That is quite a thought and not easy for any of us . . . and, when we fail, to try again.

Maybe it's just that Trump doesn't know what a hot dog is.

Laura off on another anti-Labour rant. 🙄 BBC News - Starmer says he'll make tough decisions - but will he say the unsayable on trickiest issues? - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
