The road where everything changes

Looking forward to being with the lovely Shirenewton church family this morning.
In the sermon we’ll walk with two travellers who didn’t realise Jesus was beside them - a reminder of hope, clarity, and seeing life differently.

Poverty is deepening.

🔎 Our #UKPoverty2026 report was launched this morning.

People in very deep poverty now make up the biggest group of people in poverty, at 6.8 million people.

This is unacceptable for the fifth richest country in the world, and it has consequences.

Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Holy Trinity Abergavenny now following an early start at St Mary’s (before the rain started!) - always good to be here!
