Social media has created trial by public opinion that will almost always convict without any consideration for facts or wellbeing. What was once âharmlessâ pub banter is now viewed by millions and has a terrible impact on mental health. Sadly, I donât see how it can be controlled

đŁïž Zlatan IbrahimoviÄ:
âIâm going to be honest here. Even as someone who loves Messi, this World Cup has looked like a tournament prepared for Argentina to win. When I watch other matches and then watch Argentinaâs games, it makes me wonder whether the rules are different for Argentinaâs players. They donât play like a team that came to play football; they play as if itâs a karate competition. Yet despite all of that, the referees donât give them cards.
I have seen so many challenges that deserved yellow or red cards, but the referees refused to show them. For Argentinaâs second goal, Messi stepped on Spence, and VAR didnât review it. Yet against Egypt, VAR disallowed Egyptâs goal for the exact same reason. The same thing has happened in other matches they have played.
I donât think itâs fair to say this World Cup has been fair because everything points to the fact that they want Argentina to win so badly. Itâs very shameful that FIFA has not looked into all of this.â

Andy Burnhamâs attempt to be prime ministerial seems to have worked as calls grow for him to resign
50 years a priest this weekend as I preside @RochesterCathed tomorrow. Forever grateful for the privilege of ministry and sharing it with Liz #deogratias

Danny Kruger is right that Christianity has shaped Britain profoundly. But I think heâs wrong about what most threatens it.
Itâs not âwokeryâ. Itâs not Islam. Itâs us. Safeguarding failures. Abuse. Exclusion. Hypocrisy. A Church that too often looks nothing like Christ. People rarely walk away because weâve loved too much. They walk away because weâve failed to practise what we preach.
As a priest in one of the most religiously diverse parts of London, I also struggle with describing Muslim communities as an âessentially foreign cultureâ. My Muslim neighbours are just that: neighbours. Fellow citizens. Friends. We donât have to agree on theology to belong to the same society.
One line particularly jarred: the suggestion that character in public life is a âsecond-order issueâ. The Gospels suggest exactly the opposite. Integrity, truthfulness and humility arenât distractions from politics; theyâre where it starts.
If Christianity has a future in Britain, it wonât be because weâve won another culture war. Itâll be because weâve learnt to look a bit more like Jesus.

Badenoch just did spite today. Magnanimity is nearly always a better strategy at moments such as these.

Starmer is resigning because he became unreasonably hated - partly because of too many self-inflicted mistakes and partly because social media+Farage +the wider right have created a loathing and hatred culture. Burnham is right to seek time to prepare. The same forces await him.

As Sir Keir Starmer prepares to leave office, Iâm grateful for his service to our country and his leadership in a time of great challenges at home and abroad. As always I pray for all those who put themselves forward for public service, and I wish Keir Starmer and his family well in this period of transition.

As a 75 year old fairly intelligent soul this is so true
Aujourdâhui, jâĂ©tais Ă la banque, dans la file dâattente devant un distributeur.
Devant moi, un monsieur trÚs ùgé. Plus de quatre-vingts ans, sûrement.
Il tenait une enveloppe dans la main, un peu tremblante.
Quand ce fut son tour, je lâai observĂ© discrĂštement.
Il touchait lâĂ©cran, hĂ©sitait, revenait en arriĂšreâŠ
Je voyais bien quâil ne comprenait pas.
LâĂ©cran, les boutons, les Ă©tapes⊠tout semblait trop rapide pour lui.
La file derriĂšre commençait Ă sâimpatienter.
Lui, il sâest retournĂ© vers moi, avec un regard gĂȘnĂ© mais digne,
et il mâa demandĂ©, tout doucement :
« Vous pourriez mâaider⊠sâil vous plaĂźt ? »
Je me suis avancée tout de suite.
Je lui ai expliqué calmement, étape par étape.
Sans jamais toucher son argent.
Par respect. Par pudeur. Par délicatesse.
Il voulait faire un dépÎt.
Il a réussi, lentement, en se concentrant.
Quand lâopĂ©ration sâest terminĂ©e, il avait lâair soulagĂ©.
Comme un enfant fier dâavoir rĂ©ussi.
Il mâa remerciĂ©e avec un sourire incroyable.
Et juste avant de partir, il a sorti un billet de 10 euros de sa poche
et a voulu me le donner.
Jâai refusĂ©.
Il a insistĂ©. Il mâa dit que câĂ©tait « pour le petit-dĂ©jeuner ».
Pour me remercier Ă sa maniĂšre.
Jâai dĂ©clinĂ© encore, doucement.
Et lĂ , je suis repartie avec un nĆud dans la gorge.
Parce que ce monsieurâŠ
ce nâest pas un cas isolĂ©.
Ils sont nombreux, nos parents, nos grands-parents,
perdus face à un monde devenu trop numérique, trop rapide, trop froid.
Perdus devant les écrans, les bornes, les applications, les mots de passe.
Ces gens ont construit le pays dans lequel on vit.
Ils ont travaillé toute leur vie.
Ils ont payé, cotisé, élevé des enfants, tenu des familles.
Et aujourdâhui, on les laisse seuls
face Ă des machines qui ne parlent pas,
dans des banques sans guichet,
dans des hĂŽpitaux sans accueil,
dans des administrations sans humain.
On parle dâinnovation, de progrĂšs, de modernitĂ©âŠ
Mais on oublie lâessentiel : lâhumain.
SâarrĂȘter cinq minutes pour aider quelquâun,
ça ne coûte rien.
Mais pour eux, ça change tout.
Parfois je me demande :
est-ce quâon avance vraimentâŠ
ou est-ce quâon devient juste plus rapides Ă oublier les autres ?
