Based on the BBC coverage of the Middle East in the last couple of days, and before, I don’t see an organisation riddled with institutional bias either way. Rather, it’s reporting on a complex story with much human suffering on both sides; and it’s doing its best to get it right.

I think conspiracy theorists who think covid was a cold or a hoax - including several @gbnews presenters - should watch this and reflect on why they derive so much satisfaction from the fantasy that people like Kevin are part of a giant con.
Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020.
The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope.
Please watch this 2min clip.

This is an urgent and important intervention by my fellow bishops and I support them in it.
The oppression, violence and discrimination against Palestinians in the West Bank, including Christians, must cease. The Israeli government is not above the law and must stop acting otherwise.
Steadfast Christian families such as the Kisiya family, whose ancestral land has been forcibly stolen from them, remain especially in my prayers. We continue to stand in prayerful solidarity with our Palestinian Christian sisters and brothers as they resist the injustice of occupation.
“The forceful dispossession of the Kisiya family – and many others – from their land is illegal and immoral.”
Bishop @Guli_FD joins three other Church of England bishops in arguing that the Israeli Government must stop acting as if it is above the law. buff.ly/3zizblx
I highly recommend this article!
Decline in numbers of church volunteers linked to changes in society, although pandemic has had an impact too.
This trend means that some people have to take on multiple roles.
"Whereas older generations have been characterised by loyalty to the institution, millennials want to do things under their own steam."

It makes no sense that those working reguarly with groups of children, with other adults, need a DBS, but those working 1 -2-1 don't. The problem will be identifying all private tutors.
The BBC has found more than 90 private tutors in the UK have been convicted of sexual offences involving children over the past 20 years.
On #BBCBreakfast the children’s commissioner for England called for reform of the system as it doesn't require people offering private lessons to be checked before working with young people

That has to change immediately

Could there be a more stunning or suitably symbolic backdrop to our meeting at @lampallib today? A beautiful picture of British culture and heritage, and the self placement of Chinese-heritage clergy into the history of our nation and church.

More action like this needed across the country when landlords don't keep rented properties in good condition.

Time to ban highly-paid television presenters from having second jobs as MPs. It's a distraction from their main responsibilities.
Excellent article - "The meaning of life is that it has to have meaning." Thank you, @AnnalisaB
