If the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) bill is passed, it would be the biggest change that this country has seen for many decades, on the back of less than seven hours debate. In comparison, the fox hunting bill endured hundreds of hours of debate.

- Prime Minister Boris Johnson has a personal fight on his hands against the vicious #coronavirus and needs our prayers. Let us #pray for him, all who are suffering and our NHS workers caring for them.
- I have written to the Prime Minister to express profound concern over her call for a review of the location of the British Embassy to the State of Israel, with the suggestion that it might be moved away from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
- Privileged to be taking part in the Coronation of King Charles III tomorrow. I'll be standing together with the Archbishop of Canterbury and other Christian leaders to invoke God's blessing on His Majesty the King. bit.ly/3VzR1XD #Coronation
- I am saddened to learn that King Charles is now facing a time of treatment for cancer. On behalf of the entire Catholic Community in England and Wales, I offer His Majesty our warmest wishes and assurance of steadfast prayers for his full and speedy recovery. God bless the King.
- At this moment of sadness and loss I pray for the repose of the soul of Prince Philip, Her Majesty the Queen’s faithful and loyal husband. I pray for the Queen and all of the Royal Family.
- I was shocked and saddened to learn of the killing of Sir David Amess MP, while serving his constituents and country. I pray for the repose of his soul, and for his family and constituents who grieve for him. May he rest in peace.
- I am concerned to hear the news about the Her Majesty The Queen's health. I offer my prayers for her and her family. May the blessings of the Lord strengthen and comfort her and her family.
- Let us join with Pope Francis in praying for Pope Emeritus Benedict, and asking the Lord to sustain and console him at this time.
- Earlier today I was privileged to be part of an Audience with King Charles. In my conversation with him, I assured him that Catholics had continued in heartfelt prayer for his mother. He expressed his gratitude and asked me to ensure that Catholics know of his thanks & gratitude.
- I am deeply saddened to learn of the death of Pope Benedict. He will be remembered as one of the great theologians of the 20th century. I remember with particular affection the remarkable Papal Visit to these lands in 2010.
- The right to die can quickly become a duty to die, and that is why I urge all Catholics to pray and write to their MPs. Life is a gift from our Creator and when we forget God, we end up belittling the human person. Watch my interview with @itvnews below.
- I condemn this appalling strike on the Holy Family Church in Gaza, pray for the dead and injured, and stand in solidarity with Fr Gabriel Romanelli and the people sheltering in the compound - Christians and Muslims alike. rcdow.org.uk/cardinal/news/…
