I’m focused on real, workable solutions to tackle illegal immigration. Not gimmicks. Returning people with no right to be here, seizing hundreds of boats and working with international partners to smash the gangs. That's how we are securing our borders.

Saying we're going to do more with less gives an excuse to those making aid cuts. We need to do more with more, because we were not doing enough before.

Real patriotism means building a country where everyone feels safe, valued and respected. We choose hope over fear, and renewal over decline.

The whistle will blow, the heat of the day will cool, and in years to come you will just remember that you lied or played the fool when you knew better. You can get in the mud & wrestle the pig, but always bear in mind: no one wins and the pig enjoys it

In an age of near universal stupidity, dumbing down, disregard for truth, ignoble tribalism & general dullness, it is better to maintain integrity & act as if truth & high intellectual standards matter, however tempting it may be to play the bad faith games of the moment

There are no greater threats to the church today than Christian Nationalism and Cultural Christianity. Both feign a confession of faith when they are more worried about cultural relevancy and domination. Both are antithetical to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I try to stay informed about politics and would quite like to know what Britain's third-largest party, with 72 MPs, is discussing at its conference today. But once again BBC political coverage is dominated by a policy announcement from Reform UK.

I can’t take it anymore. The fear of mRNA is pitiful. Your body uses mRNA every second of every day to stay alive. The vaccines just borrow the same system. No more pretending it’s something alien. It’s biology 101.

@vickybarlo @IndiaWilloughby It is but sadly it needs attention. If you look closely some of the social engagement the NT gets helps you understand trends and what’s coming down the line. There’s a growing amount of much more open misogyny parcelled up with all this than there was a few years ago, for eg.

It is interesting to me, in a low-key social observation way, that the American right established its foothold by taking over the presidency of the Southern Baptist Convention, and the British right is trying to do it by taking over the National Trust.

Whenever Christianity is co-opted to support violence, misogyny or racism it loses its very soul. Here’s the letter I & a group of friends wrote over the last few days, was signed by senior church leaders across denominations & published by The Sunday Times & Sunday Mirror today.

So while we're still allowed to tell jokes about political leaders, here's one from Mussolini's Italy. A woman in her middle years ventures one day to the market to buy food for her family. All the stalls are depleted by shortages: no meat, no vegetables, not even macaroni. 1/x

Someone asked if I was ready for the fall, and it actually took me a moment to realize that they meant autumn, not the complete collapse of democracy.

I am not a Labour voter but what Trump says about Sadiq Khan is rubbish. He keeps pushing the line that London is broken and that Khan is to blame. I live here. I do not just stick to the west of the city where I live, I move around and see it as a whole. London is alive, busy,…

I’m still not persuaded that the two governments, the intelligence and security services and the assorted paramilitary/terrorist groups will divulge all of the truth. Mind you, I don’t believe that truth is even possible when genuine reconciliation seems as far away as ever.
