He is alive!
Jesus is risen!
The tomb is empty.
Death is conquered.
There is life after death.
There is hope for the world.
And Jesus is with you today!

Five (of the many) reasons to believe in the resurrection of Jesus:
1. The empty tomb.
2. Appearances of Jesus.
3. Transformed disciples.
4. Impact on history.
5. Experience of billions.

'There is no trade-off between protecting people's health and protecting the economy. Rather the relationship goes in the opposite direction. As well as saving lives, countries controlling the outbreak effectively may have adopted the best economic strategy too.'
@OurWorldInData
It was wrong to believe that 'saving the economy' was an alternative to 'saving people's lives’.
We see in the data that those countries that kept the health impact low are also the countries that suffered the smallest economic consequences.

Addis Abeba, #Ethiopia, transforming into a world-class city. Eagle Hills (UAE) has started selling Phase I of its huge US$1.8 billion “La Gare” real estate project on 360,000 m² (see beautiful illustrations). The gov’t has 27% equity. Thousands of jobs will be created. #Africa

We can’t give the two old parties permission to silence and push moderates out of politics. I will fight for the values I believe in, and help create a real alternative, as a Liberal Democrat @LibDems
