As Alessandro Gisotti of Vatican News wrote: "A Good Samaritan on the Chair of Peter." Pope Leo XIV visits St. Paul Hospital, in Douala, Cameroon, today.

Reminds me a little of when Diana, Princess of Wales, held the hand of a person with AIDS.

Showing vulnerable people tenderness has never been seen as courageous, but in both 1st century Palestine & 21st century Christendom, tyrants, dictators, and despots rule, and the vulnerable are disposable. ✝️

The UK's "one size fits all" economic model doesn't work for Wales!

The NHS in Wales is on its knees – Labour should be embarrassed of its record.

To cut waiting times and build an NHS fit for the future, Plaid Cymru will build 10 surgical hubs across Wales and hire up to 100 new GPs.

Wales needs new leadership – vote Plaid Cymru on 7 May 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It can take 8+ days to receive 2nd class post and I rarely get any on Saturday. It isn't unprecedented for post to take 14 days to arrive. 🐌

I'm not sure I'll notice any difference when they officially stop delivering on weekends, and I receive the vast majority of my post electronically anyway. 📨

In 20 days time you can vote for a government that will stand up for Wales and stop Reform.

Vote Plaid Cymru on 7 May for new leadership for Wales.

The end of the Hereditary Peerage: A long campaign and an important victory We saw a big victory last night as the bill to remove the last hereditary peers from the House of Lords finally passed. The House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill means the remaining 84

It is disappointing to see that a number of hereditary peers will be waltzing back into the Lords by the back door, with freshly bestowed life peerages. buff.ly/NPATdsQ

Peter Mandelson failed his security clearance but remained in post as the Ambassador to the US.

This is an insult to the victims of Epstein who continue to be deeply affected by this scandal.

Starmer has lost all credibility. He must go.

Plaid Cymru is determined to build a Wales that our young people are proud of, and a country they can believe in. ❤️

Don’t let Reform decide your future for you - vote for Plaid Cymru’s new leadership on 7 May. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Nigel Farage has said that he wants to move towards an insurance based healthcare system.

The NHS wasn’t built in Wales just to be a destroyed by Reform UK.

A vote for Plaid Cymru is a vote to protect and strengthen our NHS.

While other parties talk Wales down - Plaid Cymru believes in the future of Wales.

Plaid Cymru is the only party that stands up for Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Dim ond Plaid Cymru sy’n rhoi ein cymunedau’n gyntaf. ❤️

Stop the press: Nigel Farage has taken a break from cosying up to Trump to make a rare pit stop in Wales. 🙄

His pro-Trump, anti-NHS agenda isn't welcome here. ✋

Plaid Cymru is the only party that can stop Reform UK and stand up for Wales. Vote Plaid Cymru on 7 May. 💚

The only poll that matters is in 21 days. People will have a rude awakening on Friday, 8 May, when they hear news our enemy will form next Welsh Government and decimate our proud country.

The only way to ensure Wales thrives as a confident European nation is to #votePlaid on Thursday, 7 May. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🗳️

As time progresses even the most fervent proponent of Brexit will realise their experiment failed and allow us to return to be a full member of the European Union. It's inevitable. 🇪🇺

"...Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?"
- Edgar Allan Poe, 1849, poem

I often recite this inwardly whilst pondering the nature of what we call real-life. Reality's a construct. We're electrochemical computers. Brain CPU. Mind OS. Is reality virtual?! Are dreams virtual reality?!

After 27 years of Labour, 1 in 5 people are stuck on waiting lists. This isn’t acceptable.

To tackle Labour’s long waiting lists, Plaid Cymru will rollout 10 surgical hubs across Wales to get you seen faster.

Vote Plaid Cymru on 7 May for new leadership for Wales.

A heart shape made of circular national flags from various European countries, set against a blue and yellow background reminiscent of the Ukrainian flag. Below the heart, the text reads: "5000 Ukrainian patients evacuated." The European Union logo is in the bottom right corner.

A landmark moment in our unwavering support for Ukraine.

5,000 Ukrainian patients have been evacuated via the European Civil Protection Mechanism to receive care in 21 EU countries and Norway.

This is the largest medical evacuation operation ever coordinated by the EU ↓

Raised Welsh Anglican 70s-80s, baptised, confirmed, etc., also LGBTQ+ & neurodivergent. I haven't set foot inside a church in decades.

Provision for same-sex marriage will help change church culture, so queer folk like me will feel as accepted by the church as I am by Christ.

I want to return! ✝️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🙏

The headline doesn't mention it but I'd assumed the "trans worker" was a woman and I was correct 💯. What a freakin' shocker!

Transphobes always seem to get their panties in a bunch about trans women, never trans men. If they were forced to attend therapy it would make our lives an awful lot easier.

A Plaid Cymru government will tackle Wales' housing crisis head on by building more social homes, protecting renters and introducing a legal right to adequate housing.
