Today, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde boldly called out Donald Trump for his hatred and bigotry at the National Cathedral Prayer Service. Now, the GOP is attacking her for speaking truth to power.
RETWEET if you stand with Bishop Budde against Trump!

Other than refusing to apologise - what on earth is he doing smiling while talking about the murder of a teenage girl?
Rishi Sunak seems to be completely devoid of even the basic building blocks of emotional intelligence?

The cancer patient had the same experience as me. Cancer misdiagnosed as diverticulitis. Something the size of the oncologists palm was chopped out in emergency treatment! Sorry that his diagnosis has got to stage 4 #R4Today

Sky News confirms Downing Street did not fully sign off the Home Secretary's article in the Times today. It's understood No10 were sent it and suggested changes that were not then carried out, via @SamCoatesSky

Populism is politics which seeks to exploit rather than solve problems, and to turn any issue, trivial or serious, into an exercise in polarisation. We now have a government that seems to be actively agitating for trouble on November 11. “Marches of hate” was Step 1. 1/4

David Lammy(Shadow Foreign Sec) - "Rishi Sunak became the 1st PM, in a decade, to skip the UN General Assembly... he stayed in London to row back on climate & make up nonsense about 7 bins... when the Tories threaten to take us out of the ECHR... we will stand up.. "

27 years ago @hackneycouncil was a basket case, the population was 2/3 todays. TfL didn’t exist, no one cared about the pedestrian environment, bike stands, street trees, pavement cafes etc. @hackneycouncil allowed advertising hoardings on the pavement targeting drivers. 1/2

I am grieving all over again. I scattered my brother’s ashes here. This was OUR place. This was a place in which I found calm and solace, my grounding and orientation. This place means EVERYTHING to me. This is more than upsetting right now. #Grief #Siblings #SuicideLoss
