Foodbanks handed out 32 meals a minute over the past 6 months as hungry families struggled to feed themselves. This is up 11% from 2019, with the number of parcels given to children increasing at twice the rate of those given to adults, according to the Trussell Trust.

So it isn't just when we are drunk and wearing short dresses, or when we are out late or in dark alleyways then. Turns out the problem isn't us or our behaviour at all, really. 💔

This is truly, truly horrific.

I try to avoid being on social media too much on certain anniversaries. I really despair at the way some people inevitably spread disproven lies or engage in whataboutery. But this really moved me. We have it in our power to make sure no 10 year old keeps a diary like this again

What happened on #BloodySunday50 cannot be justified, not yesterday, today or tomorrow. The loss and suffering of each family continues; they carry its legacy of pain and injustice. They deserve everyones support and respect. They have mine.

I am beginning to see that much of praying is grieving. - Henri Nouwen #Ukraine

Poland, Moldova, Ireland are opening their doors …how’s about it Home Secretary ???

The Home Office MUST open our borders to allow Ukrainian citizens to come to the UK to find a place of safety. We have a moral and ethical duty to care for our fellow humans in distress, without delay. Priti Patel MP please do the right thing. #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦🙏🏻🕊

Solidarity ✊

“You shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the feelings of the stranger, having yourselves been strangers in the land of Egypt.” Exodus 23:9 Someone wrote this sentence in the wake of exile once. What it took. And then it gets restated. 91 times. Like it meant everything.

As the storm of the election subsides, it is my prayer that this new government leads Britain to a place of compassion and care for our most vulnerable people. That it creates a tide of optimism and opportunity where it has never been seen before, where poverty ends, forever.

Take it in. The first female chancellor. The first housing secretary who's actually lived in social housing. The first education secretary who was on free school meals. An energy secretary who actually believes in aggressively fighting climate change. Not a bad afternoon.

Christ is still under the rubble.

WITCHES OF SCOTLAND TARTAN - in production for April 2025 : This design was created to memorialise those who suffered as a result of The Witchcraft Act 1563 to 1736 in Scotland. This tartan will be woven to make products to help create a ‘living memorial.

Solidarity with anyone peacefully standing with the victims' family but let's be clear: nobody rioted when these women died. The PSNI recorded 4,090 sexual offences in NI in 23/24. Nobody rioted. Most of the perpetrators are Northern Irish men.
