    60% of British people live within 20 miles of where they lived when they were 14. Does this ring true for you?

    I've been thinking about the reason that Sir Keir put forward for the assisted dying debate: "I made a promise to Esther Rantzen before the election that we would provide time for a debate and a vote on assisted dying." This is not the same as: 1. We think it is in the public

    "I made a promise to Esther Rantzen before the election that we would provide time for a debate and a vote on assisted dying," Keir Starmer says "I'm very pleased" that I'm able to "make good" on that promise, the prime minister adds bbc.in/3ZRTjWd

    "Jesus Christ lived obscurely for most of his life.. . He was maligned and rejected by many, though he had done no wrong. And yet, billions of people now follow his teaching and find in him the guiding light for their lives. I am one of them..." #Queen #TheServantQueen

    Brilliant letter in the @thetimes today. Showing @JustinWelby 's true colours. When the cameras are off he is just getting on with caring for people - just like Jesus.

    Today I realised how much I love the church. Got a last minute call from @ukhomeoffice asking for help supporting Afghan refugees tomorrow. A few emails later & 35 church leaders in exactly the right towns came out to help. The church is an incredible force for good in the world
