We have lost the cultural mechanisms that could ever have made ‘integration’ happen. Unhappy strangers are being gathered up by dark forces in our streets. My piece in October’s issue of The Critic https://t.co/OyhlllsNDJ

I wonder how many British visitors to Salisbury Cathedral could come away with the precise height of its 123 metre spire?

Well done @theAliceRoberts on bravely identifying the main threat to the UK Christians
We need to be very clear about this. Rising Christian nationalism is a threat to us all. https://t.co/7yNs3nJq9I

We need to bring back Michaelmas, All Saints, the 5th of November, Martinmas, and St Andrew's Day so we have some proper feasts to act as bulwarks against affronts to the dignity of the calendar such as this.
Not saying London has fallen, but why tf are there Christmas decorations up in September?

Get married. Have kids. I did. It’s cool!
"Married women are more likely to say that life was enjoyable most or all of the time: 47% of married mothers and 43% of married childless women say life is enjoyable, compared to 40% of unmarried mothers and 34% of unmarried childless women"

Not bad for Labour. Once upon a time, before she took office, the Chancellor invoked Polanyi too (Mais Lecture). He’s the obvious lodestar for Labour.
Believe it or not, I had an old school friend on today’s marches in London. He sent me some photos from the crowd. We went to middle school together and grew up on the same Eastern District council estate in Northampton. I asked him why he was there. He gave me two answers:

As I said in my article in @TheCriticMag last week, "Clothes bespeak values"...
The incoming president of Oxford Union celebrating the murder of a man he'd debated in person a few months previously is not unrelated to all the aspects of excellence, respect, decorum, and the like that have been allowed to slide in the face of anti-civilizational ressentiment.

You don't have to say "I disagreed with him on some things". No-one agrees with everyone on everything. It's a pointless statement that just distances you from your own humanity.

Labour *raised to 18* the legal age for buying cigarettes, sale of knives, buying fireworks & using a sunbed. In 2022 Starmer supported raising the marriage age to 18 and this year he supported assisted dying at 18. But now they want to *lower* the voting age to 16. 🤔

Incidentally, belief in a “private religion” and vote for assisted suicide stem from the same fatal error in thinking, repeated time and time again: that man is an individual on his own island that merely passes other individuals on their own islands with no effect on the whole
This was utterly disrespectful to my family, my constituents including the congregation, and the democratic process. My private religion will continue to have zero direct relevance to my work as an MP representing all my constituents without fear or favour. 3/3

Danny was heroic in his opposition to assisted suicide, backed by brilliant colleagues like @Rebecca_SPaul and supporters like @RajivShah90, @yuanyi_z and @nmdacosta. Danny is always intellectually honest, and I recommend this thread. The fight goes on. https://t.co/SaDtKRIuFF
"Now, splendidly, everything had become clear. The enemy at last was plain in view, huge and hateful, all disguise cast off. It was the Modern Age in arms." After this week I feel like Evelyn Waugh at the time of the Nazi-Soviet Pact in 1939. The politics of 'progress' has

MPs voted in favour of passing the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill for E&W to the next stage of the Parliamentary process. We are still concerned that the Bill does not currently require a holistic assessment of unmet need See our response

We will
One thing I have learnt from some years in politics, victory or defeat are rarely final. So you keep on fighting.

Peak liberalism is also bookending the ultimate boundaries of life in birth and death by placing both under the rubric of individual, autonomous choice.
Luke Taylor: want to make people better off. Status quo not acceptable. Says bill will give choice to those that will die soon. We choose how to bring life into this world - had a vote on that at the start of the week and we have a chance to "bookend the week"

Did Kit Malthouse really just steal the Prayer of St Francis [thanks Google AI] to advocate for this Bill?
Kit Malthouse: bill about how to face death, a short chapter of life. Seen people go abroad, prosecutions, and suicides. This Bill "brings order where there is confusion, safeguards where there is silence, replaces secrecy with structure, fear with honesty"

Tory MP opposing THE BILL describes himself as “middle of the road Anglican”. I really hope Britain might be saved by the lingering instincts of middle of the road Anglicans.
