The Chancellor promised hope for the future in his Budget. But hope in what? A stronger economy, secure homes and communities matter. But what does it really mean for a nation to flourish? Our latest blog explores the Budget through a Christian lens.

Given the EHRC opened an investigation into Labour for its anti-semitism surely it’s now going to have to open one into the Greens.

No-one has been more critical of Keir Starmer than me. But one thing I will say. Today’s vote shows how successful he was in driving the racists out of Labour. The Greens will now pay a heavy price for accepting them, and allowing a hard-Left takeover of their party.

Today, the Green Party in Britain ceased to act as a political party and became a body that gives legitimacy to terrorism. The Greens have adopted not only the green of Hamas, but also its ideology: the elimination of the State of Israel through armed struggle.
The shocking resolution adopted today legitimises armed struggle, calls for a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea” - meaning the destruction of the State of Israel - and labels as “racist” the aspiration of the Jewish people for self-determination.
This goes far beyond the boundaries of legitimate political debate. As long as this resolution remains in place, it will be a stain on the history of the United Kingdom.
Every political party in Britain, first and foremost the governing Labour Party, must unequivocally reject this twisted resolution.

@UEFA has approved the Israel Football Association’s request for the national team to wear black armbands in tonight’s match against @IrelandFootball in memory of those murdered in the October 7 massacre.
May their memory be a blessing.

Studio bosses unveil nine-actor shortlist to replace Daniel Craig as James Bond.
Who’s your pick?
Back from the cinema having watched Pressure. An exceptional film with a compelling Andrew Scott as Group Captain James Stagg who was Chief Meteorologist advising Eisenhower on D-Day weather. Stagg was under huge pressure to say GO but backed his judgement to say STOP. Then GO.

Pathetic, performative nonsense from the Irish v Israel yesterday. Clearly they have contracted Israel Derangement Syndrome. ⚽️

So touching:
Ireland soccer team wears black ribbons and refuse to shake the hands of the Israeli team members as they identify with Gaza.
But-
Last month, Ireland’s cricket team had no trouble whatsoever to play and shake the hands of Afghanistan’s cricket team.
As a reminder, approximately 200,000 people were killed in Afghanistan in the last war. Since Taliban took over the country in 2021, women’s rights are non existent!
Hypocrisy at its best!
