''You don't come out of crises the same wayâyou come out better or worse, but never alone. It's time to weather the blow and stand firm on the essentials.''

Labourâs trans law is a disaster for young girls @suzanne_moore in @Telegraph
"...NHS England is spending ÂŁ6.5m a year on âtrans mastectomiesâ: the cutting off of the healthy breast tissue of women who identify as men. There has been a 52 per cent increase in these operations since 2023.
This is obscene. And so is this bill. It is clear that most Labour MPs do not understand it, as it fundamentally brings the state into family life in a way that no one is asking for. It is both authoritarian and unworkable." đŻ

On September 24, 2015, the world witnessed a historic moment for the Catholic Church: Pope Francis became the first pontiff in history to speak before the United States Congress in Washington, D.C.
In front of American senators and deputies, the Holy Father delivered a message of peace, dialogue, social justice, defense of life, welcoming immigrants, and care for creation.
It was a historic meeting between the Catholic Church and one of the world's largest political institutions.
Pope Francis recalled that politics should be at the service of people, human dignity, and the common good, leaving a message that transcended the boundaries of religion and politics.
One of the most remarkable moments of his pontificate and his historic apostolic trip to the United States. â at Vallendar, Deutschland

Bob Dylan met Pope Leo on Wednesday wearing a black hoodie (which can trace its stylistic ancestry back to the monastic habit & cowl)
Leo XIV is not the first pope Dylan has met. In 1997, he played for John Paul II who quoted a line from âBlowinâ in the windâ - @CNN report

What was at stake
The 2026 midterm elections didn't just determine who controls Congress for the next two yearsâthey also determine whether the United States, 250 years after its founding, remains a democracy, @anneapplebaum says. She explores what citizens and lawmakers can do next to strengthen the institutions and values that have been threatened in the Trump era.

Il Papa nella Messa per i defunti al Cimitero Verano chiede di pregare per coloro a cui "l'assurda violenza della guerra" ha strappato la vita: "Possano le lacrime di tante madri, di tanti bambini, di tanti anziani toccare le coscienze di chi ha potere di far tacere le armi!"

Tackling branches rather than roots đȘŸ
You can now read our full response to the Autumn Budget on our website.
"As Pope Leo highlighted in Dilexi Te, âWe need to be increasingly committed to resolving the structural causes of povertyâ. Andy Burnhamâs government promised to challenge the system in its commitment to the âworking personâ, but this budget, while positive in many respects, falls short of that ambition."
