Here is a cracking thread for clergy thinking about, enjoying, or enduring, retirement. (may also apply to other people).
So, in no particular order, a thread on retirement lessons learnt:. 1. To downsize your fiction, some questions:. Am I collecting works by this author?.Will I read this again?.Can I think of a friend who would enjoy this?. If you can’t answer one yes, get rid.

Not sure who the three guys in the Long Room are, but so glad to see the MCC have at last put up the portrait of Trump after his epic match-saving double century at Lord's.

The truth of who knew what about John Smyth has been lost in the hunt for further scapegoats

Oof! The episcopal solidarity dam is breaking. Read the statement.
Extraordinary that the lead bishops for safeguarding in the @churchofengland should issue this message to abuse survivors following #justinwelby’s speech. But entirely necessary. Relieved they acted so swiftly.

I rarely watch #BBCQT but this man deservedly got a huge round of applause. And what a loud boor Farage is.
"Migrants, illegal or legal, weren't responsible for austerity. That was the Conservative government. Migrants were not responsible for Brexit. Migrants were not responsible for Liz Truss' failure of leadership.". Brilliant audience contribution 👏. #bbcqt
