For those just discovering the profound evil of the Post Office scandal courtesy of last night’s excellent ITV drama, I wrote a piece for @The_Fence_Mag’s newsletter last year on its links to managerialism and the Church of England.

the chickenfeed columns he used to write for them. In other news, I hear Monday’s Telegraph sports pages have a story that the FA see Johnson as a natural successor to Gareth Southgate. #TheTurdThatWontFlushKeptAliveByPapersNotPublic 2/2

Children need their parents. As #Christmas approaches, we're thinking of the refugee children separated from their mums and dads because of the UK's unfair family reunion rules. 💔 RT if you believe families belong together. #FamiliesTogether

Inspiring to see #CommunitySponsorship schemes grow across world. Each country has unique differences & many similarities in schemes but core to each prog are the intermediary orgs that mobilize so many sincere #RefugeeWelcome partners @SHARENetwork3 @CitizensUK @CitizensUKBham
Replying to @MethodistGB
@MethodistGB first #Syrian#Refugee 'Community Sponsorship' family settled loving @Bhammeth home... little boys first words, at airport, stretched my hand out to greet family were...'I love you' ... (imagine) @CitizensUK @SponsorRefugee @BhamCityCouncil @YouthPresident #interfaith

Feel overwhelmed by how refugees are being treated in the UK? The Nationality & Borders Act. The Rwanda scheme. Banning people from claiming asylum if they cross the Channel... It's a lot🤯 So. Time for some reasons to be cheerful 🥳✨ A thread... #MondayMotivation

Yesterday at Evensong, in the absence of the Dean (on an ecumenical pilgrimage to Cologne) I had the privilege of admitting four new choristers to @LivCathChoir before the Introit. All under the curious gaze of our 42 probationers, new recruits being inducted into divine service.

This remarkable gathering of boys and girls and their families is the singular achievement of the Cathedral's new Director of Music, Stephen Mannings, who mobilised our finest musicians, and a network of long-standing relationship with primary schools across the city, to recruit.

Amazing coup by Freedom from Torture. #StopTheFlights. Privilege Style can’t continue to ignore thousands calling on them not to participate in the government’s Plan to send vulnerable refugees to Rwanda. @Privilege757 #TogetherWithRefugees

The airline Privilege Style has been ignoring thousands of us about the flights to Rwanda for weeks. So today we turned up at their Majorca HQ. @privilege757 #StopTheFlights
