Wonderful that Revd. Phil Barnard, Regional Team Leader of London Baptists, has signed this letter to @Michael4MDNP challenging the practices that are making refugees homeless in London.

Thrilled to read this from Matt Forde, who's recovering well following surgery to remove a spinal tumour! Matt will never know what impact his comedy & political insights have had on me. His A1 podcast #thepoliticalparty, is responsible for at least 50% of my political education!

Glad that The Methodist Church UnitedReformedChurch and Baptists Together have put their name to this

This from Theos and Church Mission Society with input from Citizens UK looks completely brilliant!


"If the mission of the church is not to alleviate poverty and suffering, then I don't know what is. If you read the Bible... that central driving mission of Christianity, I think, is a rage against injustice." - Wes Streeting 🙌👏

Huge thanks Gary Streeter & ChurchWorks for bringing together so many Christians / churches who are meeting needs & engaging people who other services are unable to. Wonderful stories. And met Rachel Lampard AND Steve Tinning again! 😀 JPIT Citizens UK Gather






Today I met with fellow ChurchWorks Commissioners, Sir Stephen Timms & Lord Wajid Khan in Westminster. I was deeply encouraged by the conversations around meaningful dialogue & genuine partnership between Government & Churches, as we seek to address issues like UK child poverty.








Very pleased to be with The Methodist Church JPIT colleagues at the launch of Action for Children Action for Children Influencing report Paying the Price’, which provides a roadmap for how 1.2m children could be lifted out of poverty by 2030.
