You could argue about whether Judaea and Egypt were different countries (as understood in modern international law) in the reign of Augustus. But on the theology, given a choice between @MattWalshBlog and @Pontifex, I go with His Holiness. catholicnews.com/services/engli…
And note that that was Pope Benedict XVI, that well-known liberal, and not Pope Francis.
For the current Pope’s views, see (for example) here. vatican.va/content/france…

One further point on this, I think. If you are looking to improve the effectiveness of government you certainly need to look at who is at the centre of government (advisers and managers, as Cummings says, but also Ministers).
But you also need to look at governance systems: ways of ensuring that important decisions are stress-tested, that they have been taken with the benefit of information not held by government,
and that (as far as possible) they are seen by those affected to have been taken fairly and properly.

Quite.
NB - to those who think that restoration of the House of Lords as the UK’s highest court will restrain “judicial activism”, note that the House of Lords decided 15 of @Policy_Exchange’s Executive Power Project’s list of “problematic cases”.judicialpowerproject.org.uk/50-problematic…
See cases 3, 6, 7, 10, 14, 17, 18, 25, 35, 37, 39, 43, 44, 45, and 47.

In which @GuidoFawkes reveals that “senior Tories” don’t understand the principles of judicial review that they think they want to change.
Apparently, “senior Tories” think that judicial review should be confined to “Wednesbury unreasonableness”: and that on that standard they would have won the prorogation case.
This is how they understand Wednesbury unreasonableness (not too bad).

How can we as #Americans accept that our government is responsible for the #genocide of #Yemeni civilians? How can we as a society not demand by every means necessary for the world's greatest #Humanitarian #Crisis to end?

#Yemen before #War
#Yemen a beautiful country full of beautiful #Yemeni who simply want to be left in peace. A country that's only fault is it's location in the world. A location that for the #US is strategically located close to #SaudiArabia, #Iran, and #Israel.
The #UnitedStates #Indoctrination and #Propaganda machine #FakeNews would have the American people believe we are helping to ensure peace and stability in the region. This is a claim that by now ALL AMERICANS should know is false!

The Trump Regime approved the transfer of #nuclear technology to #SaudiArabia seven times!

Trump is risking #War with #Iran because he states, “we just don’t want them to have nuclear weapons - not too much to ask.” 

How can Americans believe this lie?

2015 Hillary Clinton's email.

What Israel military leaders really worry about -- but cannot talk about is loosing their nuclear monopoly!

The Yinon Plan, a strategy intended to ensure Israel’s regional superiority in the Middle East that involves breaking apart the Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia & Egypt into smaller & weaker sectarian states.

I’m an avid history geek 🤓 and I got this idea from @GippersChutzpah!
My follower count is currently stuck in the mid ages. I’ll tweet some Jewish history milestones from along the years, according to my follower count. So come on, I’m 4 followers short of the first story...
On 13/12/1204, Moshe Ben Maimon AKA #Maimonides (Greek) and Ha’Rambam (Hebrew), died at 69 in Egypt.
A Philosopher, Physician, Astronomer and one of most important #Jewish Scholars of all times.
Buried in Tiberias @Israel, upon final request to be buried in the ancient homeland
WOW! 3 followers away from yet another milestone of #JewishHistory!
So far we learned about some pogroms 😠(1171 France, 1190 England) and Maïmōnídēs dying 😢(1204 Egypt).
JewishHistory is filled with sorrow and darkness but it gets better in the 2nd half of the 20th century 😉

As a child, how would you have liked moving schools in new cities with different cultures every 2-4 years?

Growing up in the #IndianArmy, I absolutely loved it! By the time I was 18, we had moved over 9 times across 9 states! #Diversity #India #TravelTuesday #IWS #VoicesIWS
